Civil War
Twenty Fourth Regiment Infantry
The casualties of the regiment during this action were 25 in the aggregate. The regiment also participated in the battle of the 21st of August, in which the rebel attack on our lines was repulsed with large loss, the 24th capturing during the battle 11 rebel officers, one stand of colors, a large number of arms, and 60 men, while its loss was very slight. A correspondent writes as follows:
"The repulse of the 2d corps by the rebels at Ream's Station, four miles below the point held by the 5th corps, made a change of front necessary for our brigade and division, and our men pitched in like beavers that afternoon and night to build up breastworks and dig ditches to protect their left and rear from an attack in that direction.
