s one of the bravest and truest soldiers in the regiment. He was a gentleman and one whose attainments and services fitted him for high place. None of the men whom the Nineteenth had lost were more sincerely mourned, or, when living, respected and obeyed more thoroughly than he. Each private felt that he had lost a true and honest friend; each officer that he had lost a brave and loyal brother in arms. The regiment lay at Robertson's Tavern through the night, and on the afternoon of the 28th, the Corps having been relieved by the Fifth, started on what was called Warren's Flank March. The men of the Nineteenth were advanced as skirmishers, but few of the enemy were found, they having retreated to their works. A few shells were sent over to them, which they kindly returned, and finally the line came up with them strongly posted on a range of hills, and heavy firing began. The Nineteenth Massachusetts was relieved at 4 o'clock. Little distance was covered that night and on th
nd were immediately placed in reserve of the Fifth Corps, who occupied the front line of works, and who had been heavily engaged all day. Remained there until 7 P. M. exposed to the enemy's shells, some of which exploded in the brigade, and at that hour proceeded to the camp vacated on the 26th, being on the move during that time, and the men were thoroughly tired out by their four days operations, during which they marched by day and worked by night. Col. Wass had been mustered out on the 28th, his term of service having expired, and Lieut. Col. Rice was commissioned Colonel but the depleted numbers of the regiment did not allow of promotions to fill the other vacancies, Captains Merritt and Hale and Lieut. Driver having been discharged to receive other appointments. Lieut. Col. Rice who had escaped from prison, returned to the regiment with a new set of colors early in the month of August and at once assumed command, but only one flag, the National, was ever carried afterward.
