NINETEENTH REGIMENT INFANTRY
In a report covering the services of the regiment in that engagement Major
E. A. Griffin says:
On the 15th of May, 1864, the regiment participated in a charge on the enemy at Resaca, Georgia. With the brigade we charged a rebel battery, capturing the entire battery of four guns under a heavy fire from the enemy's infantry. Our brave commander, Colonel Henry C. Gilbert, received a mortal wound while cheering on and leading his men to the charge. Captain C. H. Chalmer was killed in the charge, at the muzzle of one of the enemy's guns, while at the head of his company. "
