It left the
State November 1, 1861, and proceeded to
Annapolis, where it embarked with the
Burnside expedition to
North Carolina.
It was placed in
Foster's (1st) Brigade, and was engaged at
Roanoke Island, its casualties in that action amounting to 6 killed and 49 wounded.
Colonel Russell fell there, the first one of the
Connecticut colonels killed in the war. At the
battle of Kinston,
N. C.,--December 14, 1862--the heaviest loss fell on the Tenth Connecticut, it having been entrusted with the most prominent part.
It lost there 11 killed, and 89 wounded, out of 366 engaged; five line officers were killed or mortally wounded.
The remarkable gallantry of the regiment in this action was publicly acknowledged at its close by
General Foster, in words of extreme praise.
At that battle it was in
Stevenson's (2d) Brigade,
Foster's (1st) Division.
In April, 1864, the Tenth joined the Army of the James, and participated in all its battles.
It was engaged at
Deep Bottom with a loss of 8 killed, 64 wounded, and 10 missing.
Major Henry W. Camp, the “Knightly soldier,” was killed at Darbytown Road. The regiment was transferred in December, to
Foster's (1st) Division, Twenty-fourth Corps, in which command it took the lead in the victorious but desperate assault on Fort Gregg, its losses there amounting to 11 killed and 79 wounded. Its flag was the first on the parapet, and the gallantry displayed there by the regiment was signally acknowledged by
General Gibbon, the corps commander.
