U. S. Civil War
Twenty Seventh Regiment Infantry
From the 8th to the 30th of July the regiment was stationed in the advanced line of works, immediately in front of the rebel forts that were blown up on the 30th by the springing of the mine.
In the charges made by divisions of the 9th corps after the explosion, the 27th led its brigade against a most terrific and continuous fire, but succeeded in reaching the Crater, where it was afterwards exposed to a severe fire, losing heavily.
