EIGHTH INFANTRY
(Three Years)
Eighth Infantry. - (Three Years' Service.) Cols., Herman
G. Depuy, Samuel S. Carroll; Lieut.-Cols., Charles A. Park,
Franklin Sawyer; Maj., Albert H. Winslow. Of this regiment the
Official Army Register says; "This regiment was organized at
Camp Dennison, Ohio, in June 1861, to serve three years. The
original members (except veterans) were mustered out July 13,
1864, by reason of expiration of term of service, and the vet-
erans and recruits, together with the veterans and recruits of
the 4th regiment Ohio volunteer infantry, were consolidated and
designated the 4th battalion Ohio infantry - an organization
that was formed June 26, 1864, and mustered out of the service
July 12, 1865." The following list of battles includes all
those in which the 8th Ohio infantry bore an honorable part:
First and second battles of Romney, Winchester, Front Royal,
Antietam, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, Bristoe
Station, operations at Mine Run, Wilderness, Po river, Spott-
sylvania, North Anna river, Cold Harbor and Petersburg. At the
battle of Winchester it participated in the charge on the en-
emy's right flank and the killed and wounded of the regiment
amounted to over one-fourth the number engaged. In the terri-
ble battle of Fredericksburg it formed the right wing of the
forlorn hope and in killed and wounded lost 37. In the battle
of Gettysburg it bore a conspicuous part, capturing 3 stands of
colors and losing 102 men, killed and wounded. On June 25,
1864, its term of service having expired, the regiment was re-
lieved from duty, being then in the trenches before Petersburg
with only 72 officers and men fit for duty and returned to Ohio
to be mustered out. On the route home it was frequently
greeted with tokens of respect. The regiment was formally
mustered out on July 13, 1864.
