VIM. Fl. II. Goff. Sd Mich, Cadillac, Mich,
says that the claims of the 5th Mich. to Annie
Etheridge are good for the last year of the war.
The old Sd had longer and prior claim, she
having been with them solely and exclusively
for about year and half The Sd Mich, not
having enough re-enlisted men to hold its
ganizatoH as a veteran regiment, on June 13,
1864, was permanently consolidated with the
5th Mich, and that is how Annie became iden-
titled with the 5th.

Mich, says that Annie Etheridge first came to
the front with the Cd Mich, and staid with
that regiment until it was transferred into the
Ninth Corps. in the Fall of 1862. Then she
went to the Sd Mich, and became a member Of
the 9th when the Sd was merged into it.

the brigade went into the charge the writer's
regiment was to the left Of the 18th n. Y, and
they passed almost due south and struck the

Random Shots.
Edward T. Nydegger, 1lth Ind, Mount Hope,
o., says his regiment wss never in a battle that
was lost by the Union forces. Among others,
IL participated in engagements at Fort Henry
and Fort Donelson, Shiloh Second day., Port
Gibson, Champion Hill, Vicksburg and Win
chester. where victory visited the Union flag.
James p. Carnes, Co. B, 18th Ohio, North
Salem, o., thinks it is wrong for one man as a
soldier to claim that his company. regiment or
other organization did more than some other
part Of the same command. Often times he is
in the wrong as it is a wel-knOwn fact that no
two men get the same impressions in witness
ing fight. and thus great deal of injustice is
done to neritOrious commands.
