notes.--Recruited in April, 1861, for the three months service, but before the regiment was fully organized and equipped, the call for three-years men was made.
whereupon it volunteered for three years and was mustered in on the 21st of June.
It served in
West Virginia until March, 1862, when it moved with
Shields's Division up the Shenandoah Valley, and participated in the
battle of Kernstown, where it lost 18 killed and 32 wounded; also, at
Port Republic, where it lost 4 killed, 63 wounded, and 197 captured or missing. At
Cedar Mountain, it fought in
Geary's Brigade,
Augur's Division, with a loss of 14 killed, 104 wounded, and 4 missing, out of 275 engaged.
At
Antietam it was in
Tyndale's (1st) Brigade,
Greene's (2d) Division, Twelfth Corps; loss, 11 killed, 35 wounded, and 2 missing. At
Chancellorsville, then in
Candy's Brigade, it lost 6 killed, 52 wounded, and 24 missing; and at
Gettysburg, 2 killed, and 16 wounded. In September, 1863, the regiment accompanied the Twelfth Corps to
Tennessee, where it reenforced the Army at
Chattanooga, and fought at
Lookout Mountain.
In April, 1864, the Twelfth Corps was combined with part of the Eleventh Corps and renumbered, becoming the Twentieth, but the regiment still remained in
Geary's Division, and the men still wore the white stars on their caps.
The Fifth was present at the hard fighting of the
Atlanta Campaign, during which
Colonel Patrick was killed at the
battle of New Hope Church, and
Major Henry E. Symmes fell mortally wounded at
Kenesaw.
