104 wounded, making a total loss of 146, nearly half the number with which we commenced the campaign. This number does not include many who have been struck and slightly injured, but not disabled from duty.

Fifty prisoners and one stand of colors were captured by the regiment.

In the fall of Lieutenant-Colonel Lennard, we most deeply mourn the loss of as heroic an officer as has ever drawn sword in defense of his country, and one whom all acknowledge a most estimable gentleman. In this the fates of was terminated a career which had it been extended must have continued successful, as it was pleasant to all under his command.

Very respectfully submitted.

Lieutenant-Colonel, Commanding Regiment.
