TWENTY-FIFTH REGIMENT
The Twenty-fifth Regiment, recruited from Worcester County, was mustered into the service of the United States at Worcester, Oct. 31, 1861, and left on the same day for Annapolis, Md.
The organization took part in the following engage- ments :- Roanoke, Newbern, Kinston, Whitehall, Golds- boro', Port Walthall, Arrowfield Church, Drury's Bluff, Cold Harbor, battles before Richmond, and Wise Forks. Losses, especially in wounded, were numerous because of many additional skirmishes in which the regiment was engaged.
In January, 1864, 432 in the regiment re-enlisted and after a furlough returned as a veteran regiment. Those not re-enlisting served meanwhile with the 139th New York Vols.
The regiment was mustered out of the service at Read- ville, July 28, 1865. It upheld the honor of the state in the service and never yielded its colors to the enemy.

CIVIL WAR
for three hundred thousand men for three years. This was after the first glamour of excitement over the newness of the war had died away and men enlisted knowing what fighting at the front meant in exposure to sickness, wounds, and possible death. It was a compact, homo- geneous body of men, remarkably free from envy, strife, and jealousy, and from its ranks not an officer or enlisted man was dishonorably discharged.
The regiment was assigned to the ninth army corps, commanded by General Burnside, and joined the army at Antietam, just after the battle. It hastened to Fred- ericksburg at the time of Stuart's raid into Pennsylvania; campaigned in Virginia; and took part in the battle of Fredericksburg. In March, 1863, the regiment was transferred to the Army of the Ohio. It opposed the guerillas; proceeded to Vicksburg; operated against Jackson in the rear of Vicksburg; was ordered North, having suffered the ill effects of a hard campaign; operated in East Tennessee; participated in the battle of Blue Springs; was engaged in the movement against Long- street; participated in the battle of Campbell's Station; was besieged at Knoxville; campaigned in East Tennessee; was ordered east and went into camp at Annapolis, Md., having completed a year of hard service.
At Annapolis, in 1864, the regiment was re-organized and recruited, ninety-one men were transferred to it from the twenty-ninth regiment, and fifty-six men were assigned for duty from the forty-sixth New York. Although the men in the ranks expected to be sent south the regiment was marched with the rest of the Ninth Corps to co- operate with the Army of the Potomac. It was engaged in the battles of the Wilderness, Spottsylvania, and Cold Harbor. It took part in the siege of Petersburg, in the assaults on the rebel works there, and in the battle of Pegram Farm.
In November, 1864, the regiment was consolidated into seven companies and the remnant of the twenty-first

FIFTY-FIRST REGIMENT
The Fifty-first Regiment, a nine months' organization, left "Camp Wool," Worcester, Nov. 25, 1862, and pro- ceeded to North Carolina where it took part in the Golds- boro' expedition and served in guarding railroads. The regiment suffered severely from malaria and other forms of sickness, and deaths were numerous. In June, 1863, with the exception of 183 sick, the regiment proceeded to Fortress Munroe, Va., and although its time of enlistment was nearly elapsed the men volunteered to perform active service. Accordingly, they were assigned to duty in the protection of railroads and in outpost service and they took part in the pursuit of the Confederates from Gettysburg.
On July 27, 1863, the regiment was mustered out, after a service of nearly ten months, during which it suffered a loss of 138 men out of an enrollment of 938. Roster of Millbury men:

HISTORY OF MILLBURY
It participated in the battles of the Wilderness, Spottsyl- vania, North Anna, and Cold Harbor, in the engagements before Petersburg including the charge at the explosion of the mine, also at Weldon R. R., Poplar Spring Church, and Hatcher's Run. With such arduous service the regiment became greatly reduced by death, sickness, wounds, and capture, so that at one time it entered action with only forty-five men in command of a lieutenant, and of these fifteen were lost.
June 20, 1865, the Fifty-ninth regiment was consoli- dated with the Fifty-seventh.
The regiment was mustered out of service July 30, 1865, having suffered a loss by death alone of two hundred and forty-nine.

FIRST BATTALION OF HEAVY ARTILLERY
Several Millbury men who had served in the Tenth Unattached Company of Militia during its ninety days duty in the United States service re-enlisted in Co.
