Twenty-Sixth Regiment Infantry
For this gallant and dashing affair, and the operations of the day preceding, the regiment was specially complimented by General Hancock in general orders. On the 14th of August it was engaged at Strawberry Plains, and on the 16th it encountered the enemy near the White Oak Swamp, losing 3 killed, 14 wounded, and 17 taken prisoners. Among the latter was the officer commanding the regiment, Captain Dailey. The regiment, then commanded by Captain L. H. Ives, recrossed the James river on the 20th, and reached the lines in front of Petersburg on the 21st.
