It took part at the Wilderness May 6 and was active at Spotsylvania May 10, 12 and 18; it shared in the movements to North Anna and in the engagements at Cold Harbor. Reaching the vicinity of Petersburg June 16, it took part in the assault on that day and was closely engaged again on the 17th.

On August 22 those whose term of service had expired returned to Massachusetts and were mustered out Aug. 30, 1864. The remainder, as a battalion of three companies, under command of Capt. Orange S.

On Oct. 21, 1864, the command was transferred to the 36th Mass. Infantry by order of the War Department.
