"10th Maine Infantry Battalion" and similar unit names link here. The 10th Maine Infantry Regiment was mustered in for two years of service at Portland, Maine, on October 4, 1861, by then-Major Seth Eastman.〔Gould and Jordan, p.82〕 It was mustered out on May 8, 1863, also at Portland. The regimental commander was Colonel George Lafayette Beal. The 10th Maine was a re-organization of the 1st Maine Infantry, a regiment primarily composed of men with two-year enlistments that was mustering out after completing three months of Federal service. Eight companies of the 1st Maine were retained in service, with Companies A and D replaced by newly recruited companies.〔Gould and Jordan, p. 80-84〕 A fraction of the regiment consisted of three-year enlistees, who formed the three-company 10th Maine Infantry Battalion (Cos. A, B, and D) upon the discharge of the two-year enlistees on April 26, 1863.〔Gould and Jordan, p. 339-342〕 The 10th Maine Battalion served as headquarters guard for the XII Corps at the Battle of Chancellorsville and as part of the Army of the Potomac's provost guard at the Battle of Gettysburg. The 10th Maine Battalion was detached from the XII Corps at Tullahoma, Tennessee, on February 29, 1864, to be amalgamated with the 29th Maine Infantry. On May 29, 1864, the battalion reached Morganza, Louisiana (aka Morganzia) and was dissolved to form Companies A and D of the 29th Maine, where the soldiers were again commanded by Colonel Beal who was appointed as commander of the 29th Maine.〔(Col George Lafayette Beal )〕 The regiment's history, (''History of the 1st-10th-29th Maine Regiment'' ), was written by Major John Mead Gould. The unit's flags are preserved in the Maine State Museum.〔(10th Maine US Flag Image )〕 == Record == * Jackson's Valley Campaign, May 15 – June 17, 1862 * Battle of Cedar Mountain, August 9, 1862 * Northern Virginia Campaign, August 16 – September 2, 1862 * Battle of Antietam, September 17, 1862 * Battle of Chancellorsville (10th Maine Battalion only), May 1–5, 1863 * Battle of Gettysburg (10th Maine Battalion only), July 1–3, 1863 * Transferred to 29th Maine Infantry, May 29, 1864 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「10th Maine Volunteer Infantry Regiment」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
