notes.--Recruited at
Pittsburg and vicinity in August, 1862, in response to the
President's second call for troops.
It arrived at
Washington in September, and was assigned to
Allabach's (2d) Brigade,
Humphreys's (3d) Division, Fifth Corps.
It was engaged in
Humphreys's bloody assault on
Marye's Heights, where it lost 6 killed, 58 wounded, and 4 missing; the other regiments of the brigade suffered an unusually severe loss.
Upon the muster-out of the other regiments in the brigade (nine months men), which occurred soon after
Chancellorsville, the One Hundred and Fifty-fifth was placed in
Weed's (3d) Brigade,
Ayres's (2d) Division.
General Weed was killed at
Gettysburg, on
Little Round Top, while seizing that position with his brigade.
In 1864, the regiment was in
Ayres's (1st) Brigade,
Griffin's (1st) Division.
It was known as the Regular Brigade, as the Regulars were at that time massed in this one brigade.
The regiment took a prominent part in all the battles of the Fifth Corps in 1864-5, and distinguished itself particularly at the assault on
Petersburg, at Peeble's Farm, and at the
Quaker Road.
Colonel Pearson, who was in command of the brigade part of the time, was twice brevetted for gallantry, while the regiment received complimentary notice from headquarters.
In the final campaign the One Hundred and Fifty-fifth was in
Bartlett's (3d) Brigade of the same division.
It was in line at
Appomattox, and was pressing the enemy when the token of surrender was displayed.
