The Third New-IIanipshire Regiment was the next in the field.—-
Enoch Q. Fellows, Sandwich, Colonel; John H. Jackson, Ports-
mouth, Lieut. Colonel; John Bedel, Major; A. A. Moulton, Surg.

This regiment did good service in South Carolina and Virginia.
They were in many a hard-fought battle and lost heavily in some
of them. They were at James Island, Fort Wagner and its siege,
Drury’s Bluff, Half-way House, Bermuda Hundred, Deep Run,
and several other battles. At the battle of Fort Wagner, they lost

ninety-three. They stood high in the service as a brave and effi-
