The Twenty-sixth was the first regiment to plant its colors on the rebel works. Its loss in this action was severe, amounting to one hundred and thirty-four killed and wounded.
For gallant services at the battle of Deep Bottom, July 27, and July 28, 1864, the regiment was especially complimented by General Hancock, in his general orders. It was in the advance in the final pursuit of Lee's retreating army in April, 1865, and through its lines, General Grant operated with his flag of truce, in arranging the terms of surrender at Appomattox Court House.
Its losses in the war were two hundred and fifty-nine out of a membership of about one thousand. It was in numerous engage- ments; only the most important can be mentioned.
