notes.--The Eleventh reported at
Washington, August 26, 1862, and moved directly into
Virginia where, in November, it was assigned to
Carr's (1st) Brigade.
Sickles's (2d) Division, Third Corps.
The regiment made a splendid fight at
Chancellorsville, the division, under
General Berry, taking a very prominent part;
Berry was killed and the regimental casualties amounted to 18 killed, 146 wounded, and 5 missing; total, 169, out of about 500 present for duty.
The division was commanded by
Humphreys, at
Gettysburg, and in the battle of the second day fought at the
Emmettsburg Road.
The Eleventh took 275 officers and men into that action, losing 17 killed, 124 wounded, and 12 missing; total, 153.
Major Phillip J. Kearney was mortally wounded in this battle.
In the action at
Locust Grove (
Mine Run), November 27, 1863, the regiment lost 6 killed, 20 wounded, and 4 missing. This was the last battle of the Third Corps, for in March, 1864, the War Department issued the foolish and unjust order directing that the gallant organization be broken up and transferred to the Second Corps.
The Eleventh thereupon became part of
McAllister's Brigade,
Mott's Division, Second Corps, in which Corps it fought during the remainder of the war. This brigade distinguished itself in the action at the
Boydton Road,
Colonel McAllister receiving a brevet brigadier's commission for his services on that field.
A large number of conscripts were sent to the regiment in 1864-5, but the fighting was done, for the most part, by the original regiment.
