g. The Nineteenth Massachusetts Infantry has, during its existence, captured seven stands of colors, viz: one at Antietam (First Texas Regiment) by Corporal Thomas Costello, Co. G, of Lowell, killed at the Wilderness, May 6th; four at Gettysburg, by Sergt. Benj. F. Falls, Sergt. Benj. Jellison, Corp. Jos. DeCastro and Sergt. John Robinson; one at Spottsylvania Court House, (Thirty-Third No. Carolina) by First Sergeant Samuel E. Viall, of Co. E, of Lynn, mortally wounded on North Anna River, May 24th; and one at Hatcher's Run, Oct. 27th, (Forty-Seventh North Carolina) by Sergeant Daniel F. Murphy, Co. F, of Boston. Sergeant Murphy being deputed by the commanding general to personally present the captured color to the Secretary of War, received from the hands of Mr. Stanton a medal of honor in acknowledgment of his gallantry. When it is considered that such captures are only made in hand to hand conflicts of the most desperate character, this appears a glorious record. Officer
