I have the honor to make the following report of this regiment and its doings during the time mentioned in
circular :
As this regiment has been engaged in no special or detached service, and has at all times acted under the
immediate observation
of the brigade commander, and only in concert with the brigade, I deem it unnecessary here to mention such facts
as must be

The casualties in this regiment during the time are-
Lieut. Col.
William
O'Brien
, severely wounded in hand; enlisted men killed, 6; enlisted men wounded, 19.
Very respectfully, &c.,
I have the honor to submit the following report of the operations of this regiment since last report; also a
statement of
the strength of regiment
May
7, 1864
, and casualties since that time.
I do not consider it necessary to mention the marches, &c., of this regiment that were performed jointly
with the command,
and under your immediate observation.
That omitted, leaves but the operations of
August

and the morning of
September
1, 1864

During that time this regiment was connected with the expedition under command of
Colonel
Hunter
, of the Eighty-second Indiana, which had for its object the

this regiment taking an active part, laboring without any intermission
in building fortifications and in destroying the railroad track, until ordered to rejoin the command.
