LOSSES IN MAINE REGI-
MENTS.
First Heavy Artillery, According to
Figures Had More Men Killed Than
Any Other Command.

Many disputes have arisen between
Maine veterans Of the Civil War, as to
which regiment lost the largest number
OF men. The State of Maine sent to the
field as many soldiers as any state in
the Union, according to population, and
each regiment performed every duty it
was called upon to do. Some of the regi-
ments were engaged in more BATTLES than
others.
The First Maine regiment was mus
tsredsin as three months regiment and
upon arrival in Washington went into
camp on Meridian Hill. In that camp
the men served their whole time OF enlist
ment. The regiment did guard duty and
all other duties assigned it, but did not
engage in any battle, or even see the enc
my during their service. On their return
to Maine most OF them re-enlisted in 9th
er regiments, a very large majority going
out the second time, in the 10th Maine
a regiment that did most excellent ser
vice. The First Maine cavalry was en-
gagged in more battles and skirmishea
than any other single body In the service.
The seven regiments from Maine losing
the largest number OF men, not including
missing, were as follows:
