Retrospect Of Co. D., 5th Reg. PRO.
M,Sr,,'s, u,tr Aor,l IN

In recent Chronicle, | noticed des-
cription Of the trials and hardships which
Co. f., 5lst =. ", have endured. Not
wishing to detract from Co. L. any honor
which they have so nobly won, ye, have
thought it advisable to give you also, from
our books, the record OF Company d. Of
the Reserves. Your readers can compare
the records.
Shortly after being mustered into SER
vice OF Harrisburg, our regiment, with the
famous BucLt .ils, made forced march to
Western Virginia to reinforce the Indiana
Zouaves. After remaining there several
weeks, returned to Harrisburg, thence to
Camp Tenally, d. G., where we cons,ruc-
ted several very important rife pits and
Notifications. Thence to Camp Pierpoint,
Va, for about five months, where we went
out on great many foraging expeditions,
always proving successful. From this
place we we're pushed on to Manassas on
the hunt of Rcbs, but instead Of this we
fonnd nothing but mud, we're ordered back
to Alexandra; thence to Fredericksburg
by way of Manassas, where we j,ined
M'Dowel's Corps; then, ordered to report
to Gen NJ 'Clelan on the Peninsula, where
We arrived in time to participate 10 the
seven days struggle then reinforced Pope,
taking an active part in the second battle
of Bull Run and every subsequent engage
ment up to the present time. After CIV
ing this hasty description of our doings,
l will proceed to lay before your readers
a statement of our losses sustained
