U. S. Civil War
Twenty Seventh Regiment Infantry
The Red Shield of the division shines with full lustre and reflects a glory upon all who have fought under it. Your families and fellow citizens will welcome your return in peace and victory; you will carry about you in civil life a sense of your own worth, and self-respect will characterize those who have done so well and deserve so well by their country. Keep high the standard of your honor; preserve your honesty and integrity, and the worthy returned soldier will purify the atmosphere of home, State, and country, by his own simple and steadfast purity of character.
"Wishing you every success and prosperity in life, your General bids you a sad but proud farewell.
O. B. WILLCOX,
Brevet Major General U. S. Volunteers,
Official: Robert A. Hutchins, A. A, G.
