The regiment participated in the memorable charge of May 22d, being with the 31st Iowa, in support of the 9th, 26th and 30th. In fact the five regiments occupied the same line. The nature of the ground was such that the five organizations occupied a ridge in front of the confederate works, all suffering severely, the 2, Sth losing 5 killed and 27 wounded, total 32. On the night of the 22d the regiment was moved to its permanent position on the extreme right of the array, occupying the trenches ...at that point until the surrender on the 4th of July. During the siege the regiment dug numerous trenches and rifle pits, one to the river and one to the mound now occupied by the Grant-Pemberton monument in the Vicksburg National Cemetery. The one to the mound enabled the sharpshooters practically to control the enemy's water batters^- It will be remembered that "Whistling Dick" was not heard often the latter part of the siege. Loss in the siege, killed 14, wounded 31, missing 4, total 49. THIRTIETH IOWA.
