United States Civil War
FIFTH REGIMENT INFANTRY
Falling back with the army, the regiment reached its former camp near Brandy Station on the same day. It remained in winter quarters until the 28th of December, when it left for Michigan, one hundred and seventy-seven, the requisite number having re-.,. enlisted to entitle it to the designation of a veteran regiment. It arrived at Detroit on the 4th of January, 1864, where it was furloughed, and again left its rendezvous at Detroit on the 10th of February for the front, having during the period of its furlough increased its strength by the addition of a number of new recruits. It arrived at Brandy Station, Va., on the 14th.
