notes.--Recruited and organized at
Troy, N. Y. It was mustered into the
United States service August 29, 1862, and left the
State immediately, en route for
Harper's Ferry, where it was captured on September 15th, at the surrender of that post.
The captured garrison was immediately paroled, the One Hundred and Twenty-fifth proceeding to
Annapolis, from whence it was sent to a paroled camp at
Chicago, Ill., there to await notice of its exchange.
After a two months stay at
Chicago, the men were declared exchanged, upon which the regiment returned to
Virginia.
During the
winter and
spring of 1863 it was encamped at
Centreville, Va., where it was attached to
General Alex. Hays's Brigade.
In June, 1863, that command joined the Army of the Potomac, and marched with it to
Gettysburg, where
Colonel Willard was killed while in command of the brigade, the regiment losing there 26 killed, 104 wounded, and 9 missing. At
Gettysburg the One Hundred and Twenty-fifth was in
Alex. Hays's (3d) Division, Second Corps; and it fought under
Hays again at Bristoe Station, an action in which the regiment particularly distinguished itself by its dash and intrepid bearing in a critical situation.
In 1864, it was transferred to
Barlow's (1st) Division, and took a prominent part in the bloody fighting about
Spotsylvania.
Lieutenant-Colonel Myer fell mortally wounded at the
battle of the Wilderness.
The casualties in the regiment at the
Wilderness were 6 killed, 17 wounded, and 5 missing; at
Po River and
Spotsylvania, 10 killed, 74 wounded, and 6 missing; at
North Anna and
Totopotomoy, 5 killed and 6 wounded. It commenced the final campaign of 1865 with 12 officers and 219 men “present for duty,” although the names of 547 men were still carried on the rolls.
