TWENTY-FOURTH INFANTRY.
THIS regiment was organized at Camp Chase in the latter part of June, 1861. The records show that fifty-four members, all Germans, were from Cuyahoga county, headed by Lieutenant (afterwards Captain) Jacob Diehl.
The regiment went to West Virginia in the latter part of July, serving at Cheat Mountain Summit during August and September. On the morning of September 12th it was surrounded and attacked by a brigade of rebel soldiers. After a skirmishing fight of three hours the assailants fled, leaving some of their number dead on the field besides a few who were taken prisoners. The Twenty-fourth. being defended by abatis, had only two men wounded. On the 3d of October the regiment was slightly engaged at Green- brier, having five men killed and wounded.
In November the Twenty-fourth moved to Ken- tucky, joining the Tenth Division, Army of the Ohio. In February, 1862. it proceeded to Nashville, and thenee in March went forward with Buell's army to join Grant. It crossed the Tennessee in the after- noon of April 6th, and immediately took part in the battle of Pittsburg Landing. The next day it was sharply engaged, though with comparatively slight loss-four killed and twenty-eight wounded.
After serving in northern Mississippi and Alabama it returned to Kentucky, and was present at the battle of Perryville. It was with Roseerans in his advance
from Nashville in December, 1862, and was severely engaged at Stone River, having two regimental com- manders (Colonel Jones and Major Terry) killed in succession in that battle. The whole loss was four officers and ten men killed, and four officers and sixty-nine men wounded, out of three hundred and fifty-three present.
After light duty during the spring and summer of 1863. the regiment moved forward with Rosecrans and was warmly engaged at Chickamauga: in fact was badly broken up, and suffered severely in killed and wounded. The same fall the Twenty-fourth took part in the great victory of Mission Ridge. It was also in an engagement near Dalton, having ten men killed and wounded. It saw some hard service during the winter, but no more serions fighting, It was innstered out in June, 1864.

TWENTY-SEVENTH INFANTRY.
Forty-nine men, of Company G, were, according to the record, the contribution of Cuyahoga county to this regiment. Frank Lynch and Edward C. Gibson, of this county, were respectively captain and second lieutenant.
The regiment, from all parts of the State, was or- ganized at Camp Chase in Angust, 1861. In the fall it served in Missouri, and in February, 1862, joined the Army of the Mississippi. In March it was ac- tively engaged in the siege and capture of New Mad- rid and Island No. Ten. In May, with the rest of Pope's Army it joined Halleck, took part in the siege of Corinth, and remained near that point with the rest of the "Ohio brigade," as it was especially desig- nated, during the summer months.
On the 19th of September the Ohio brigade took an active part in the battle of Inka. driving the enemy back on the double quick as soon as it reached the bat- tle field. On the third of October it was at the battle of Corinth but not severely engaged. The next day it supported Battery Robinett, the main objeet of the rebel attack. The enemy made a desperate assault on this position but were forced back with territic loss. The Twenty-seventh though partially sheltered, had over sixty officers and men killed and wounded in a very brief time.
In December, 1862, the Twenty-seventh was warmly engaged with Gen. Forrest at Parker's Cross Roads, Tenn; aiding in the capture of seven pieces of artillery, besides prisoners and horses. It remained at Corinth during the winter of 1862-3 and in the spring of 1863 went to Memphis where it stayed throughout the summer. In October the Ohio brigade moved to mid- dle Tennessee. There it re-enlisted as veterans, and after its return from furlough it was broken up; the Twenty-seventh becoming part of the First brigade, Fourth division, Sixteenth army corps.
It took part in Sherman's Atlanta campaign. At Dallas it aided in driving the enemy. and was also engaged at Big Shanty. At Kenesaw it fought hard and suffered heavy loss. At Nicojack creek, at the head of its division, it charged the rebel works with the bayonet and captured them. The regiment was in its hardest battle on the 22d of July, 1864, before Atlanta, when McPherson was killed. It charged the enemy repeatedly, and once, being at- tacked from the rear, changed front under fire, dressed its line accurately, and again rushed forward to the charge. Its loss was heavier than in any other battle. Capt. Lynch was desperately wounded and was soon after promoted to lieutenant colonel. During the campaign from Chattanooga to Atlanta the Twenty- seventh had sixteen officers and a hundred and ninety- five men killed and wounded-more than half its number.
After the capture of Atlanta the Twenty-seventh went with Sherman to the sea; took part in the cam- paign of the Carolinas, and was mustered out in July, 1865.
