notes.--This gallant little regiment sustained a heavy loss in proportion to its numbers.
At no time did it have a full complement of men, yet it distinguished itself on all occasions by its efficiency.
It was recruited mostly in
Philadelphia, and was organized there in September, 1862.
It joined
McClellan's Army in October, and was placed in
McCandless's Brigade,
Meade's Division, Pennsylvania Reserves.
With this command it fought in its initiatory
battle at Fredericksburg, with a loss of 14 killed, 114 wounded, and 10 missing; total, 138.
The brigade, under
Colonel Chapman Biddle, was engaged at
Gettysburg in the battle of the first day, its operations being conspicuous in the history of that day. The regiment marched on that field with only 263 officers and men; of this number, 12 were killed, 106 wounded, and 61 missing or captured; many of the prisoners were wounded before they were captured.
Upon the transfer of the First to the Fifth Corps, the regiment was placed in
Roy Stone's Brigade, of
Wadsworth's Division.
It had received no recruits, and entered the spring campaign of 1864 with only 200 men. It fought in all the battles of the Fifth Corps, and in October the morning report showed only 89 men present for duty.
In the spring of 1865 it entered on the final campaign in
Coulter's (3d) Brigade,
Crawford's (3d) Division, Fifth Corps, in which command it fought at
Five Forks, and was present at the last surrender.
