The original members of the unit took part in eight battles of that war before they were must cred out on May 15, 1915.
 The regiment was reorganized Ill 1861 and took part in twenty-one i'm portant battles and several minor en- agreements After the civil war the 14th took a hand in the Indian fight ing in the days of the real 'wild west
 When the Spanish-American war broke out the 14th was at Vancouver barracks. The command was ordered to Manila in 1898 and took part in the capture of that city. Afterward there were number of skirmishes with the Filipinos, besides riots and insurrec- tions to repress.
 When the Boxer troubles upset China the regiment was sent over to join the international force, going into action at Pie Tsang and Yang Tsun, and taking part in the capture of Pe- kin. Then followed two tours of four years in the Philippines, with more fighting and an expedition against the Pulajanes in Samar.

 Upon their return to the United States the men of the 14th were called upon to preserve martial law in San Francisco after the earthquake of 1906. The regiment remained in the
 
 Fort William Henry Harrison, Helena, Mont; Fort Missoula, Mont; Fort Lincoln. N. D., and Fort Wright, Wash. The 1st battalion was in Alas ka four years.
 Part of the 14th took part in the Mexican border patrolling of 1915-16, and part was on guard duty at Camp Lewis, American Lake, Wash. The 14th infantry arrived here from Camp Dodge, Iowa, on December 12
 At present the regiment is doing guard duty in Camp Grant. It Is made up of men of unusual physique and orderly bearing, and the camp is proud not only of the long and hon. orable history of the regiment but also of the personnel of the organiza- tion as it is now constituted.
 Just how long the 14th regiment will remain intact is not known. Most of the members enlisted or were in- ducted into the service after the law changed to make all enlistments for the duration of the war only.
