notes.--Organized at
Freehold, N. J., and left the
State, 1,007 strong, on September 2d, 1862.
Colonel Truex had served as major, and
Lieutenant-Colonel Hall as adjutant, of the Fifth N. J. V. It was ordered on guard duty along the B. & O. R. R. near
Monocacy, Md., where it remained until June, 1863, when it moved to
Harper's Ferry.
In the following month, upon
Lee's invasion, the garrison (
French's Division) was withdrawn to
Frederick, where it joined the Army of the Potomac soon after
Gettysburg, becoming the Third Division of the Third Corps.
The regiment was under fire at
Locust Grove (
Mine Run) for the first time, where it lost 14 killed, and 49 wounded; its casualties were the largest, numerically, of any regiment engaged in the various actions incidental to the
Mine Run campaign.
Upon the discontinuance of the third Corps, March, 1864, the division was transferred to the Sixth Corps as
Ricketts's Third Division, the regiment being placed in
Morris's (1st) Brigade.
Its casualties in May and June, 1864, nearly all of which occurred at Cold Harbor, were 29 killed, 107 wounded, and 15 missing; the latter were mostly killed.
In July the division returned to
Maryland to meet
Early's invasion, and at the
Monocacy the regiment lost 24 killed, 87 wounded, and 29 missing, out of 350 men engaged.
In the battle of the
Opequon,
Major Peter Vredenburgh was killed while leading a charge on a battery, the regiment losing in that action 6 killed. and 56 wounded.
Colonel Truex commanded the brigade in the final and victorious assault of the corps on the works at
Petersburg.
