There were but few officers. The bri gade was commanded by Col. H. M. Plaisted, of the Eleventh Maine, the senior colonel of the brigade, as Gen. Foster was put in command of division. The casualties in the regiment were quite frequent. Most were shot through the head, while firing through the loop holes, or openings, made in the trench bank. There were many of these along the line. One man could do the duty of two, or twenty, by moving along and firing through each in succession, thus intimati...ng to the enemy that there were ten or twenty men, when the duty was being performed by one. The men of the regiment had all the experience of fire arms they wished while in the trenches before Petersburg. Batteries were stationed at convenient distances along the line, which would open daily, and fairly plough the banks of the rebel works. Near one of these we lost John Crane, a private of Co. " K, " and Henry Coons of the same company, and one of the sergeants of Co. " A " was shot by the premature ex plosion of a shell from one of our own guns.
