Concerning an IRON Brigade.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: l am at a
loss to know how many Iron Brigades
there were in the Army of the Potomac.
The command to which l belonged joined
the Army of the Potomac near Frederick,
Md, some time in July, 1868. We were
in Southeast Virginia and were hurried to-
ward Gettysburg, but arrived too late to
take any part in that battle, as the army
was moving south, crossing the Potomac
at Berlin on pontoons, to Virginia again,
and camping near Warrenton.
At the time we became attached to the
Iron Brigade it was composed of the I'd,
9th and 7th Wis, 19thi Ind. and Oath
Mich. Col. Morrow commanded the First
Brigade, First Division, First Corps. We
were given the round red patch-the First
Corps badge being full moon. AS to
what regiments were in the Iron Brigade
prior to July. 1891 have nothing to
say. ID. w. Kline, 9th Wis, River Falls,
is right when he says there were only
three brigades in the division. We served
with the brigade until the close of the war.
After the consolidation we were put into
the Fourth Division, Fifth Corps-Gen.
Warren and Gen. James l.. Wadsworth
being our division comma nders. The old
Iron Brigade has a fine record. But there
were others.-ROYCEio KELLEY, Hartford,

so, and took the advancing enemy i'm the
