The part of the regiment to which Company D was assigned served in the Army of the Potomac and took part in all the skirmishes and battles in which that army was engaged. The adjutant-general's reports fail to give a detailed account of the losses the regiment suffered during its term of service, but these were heavy, since the regiment was in active service protecting the flanks of the army and took part in all the pitched cavalry engagements of the East. Thoroughfare Gap, Gettysburg and other places were engagements in which the company took part, and where it suffered losses.
THE FIFTY-SECOND INDIANA.
