25th Michigan Volunteer Infantry Regiment
« on: April 21, 2013, 09:33:10 am »





The 25th Michigan Infantry was mustered into Federal service at Kalamazoo, Michigan on August 22, 1862. The regiment was mustered out of service on June 24, 1865 at Salisbury, NC. Benjamin Orcutt from Kalamazoo, MI was the Lt. Colonel of the Regiment for the duration of service. Major Dewitt C. Fitch of Mattawan, Surgeon was Bolivar Barnum of Schoolcraft. First Assistant Surgeon was Francis Oakley of York. Second Assistant Surgeon John N. Greggs of Schoolcraft. Adjutant Charles H. brown of Kalamazoo. Quartermaster was John M. Ridlon, Paw Paw. Chaplin was Albert L. Payson of Schoolcraft. In the Regiment's short time of existence, it fought at many battles, notably the Battle of Nashville and the Siege of Atlanta. The regiment suffered 1 officer and 34 enlisted men who were killed in action or mortally wounded and 2 officers and 141 enlisted men who died of disease, for a total of 178 fatalities.


The 25th Michigan Volunteer Infantry Regiment where formed as a sub-section of the 25th Regiment of Foot (NW). The majority of our members are already members of the 25th Foot, and this is more of a side venture. We will have one or two events a week max because our schedule has to coincide with the events of the 25th Foot, which takes priority. You do not need to be a member of the 25th Foot to join the 25th Missouri, however we do recommend it, as we are a tightly knit community who play North and South on the side, as well as Napoleonic Wars. Previous Regimental experience isn't essential but is recommended because, as a North and South regiment, we will not have any trainings because the majority of our members are from the 25th Foot of NW
 







In the 25th Michigan, we go by a few simple rules.
1)Respect all members, regardless of rank.
2)Respect other Regiments.
3)Conduct yourself in a mature manner.
4)Be as active as you can and attend events when possible.
5)Always listen to Officers, and stick to the PTS (Permission to Speak) system.
6) Never troll, and if you are told to stop doing something, stop doing it.

We have just joined the Union Army, in the Irish brigade under the command of Bacon. It should be very fun!
