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.
