| UNIT HISTORY The 1st Battalion Georgia Sharpshooters were formed on August 15, 1862 and organized by Colonel Robert H. Anderson, with some men from DeKalb county. The battalion was then mustered at Camp Anderson, south of Savannah Georgia on the Ogeechee River, comprised of four companies. It served on the Georgia coast and was part of the garrison that defended Fort McAllister in February 1863. During May, the unit moved to Mississippi (under General Wilson), and took its place in the trenches around Jackson. Later it was transferred to the Army of Tennessee and attached to General C.H. Stevens' and H.R. Jackson's Brigade. For a time, the battalion was united with the 25th Georgia Regiment and in December 1863, the consolidated command totalled 341 men and 151 arms. It fought on many battlefields of the army from Chickamauga to Nashville and ended the war in North Carolina. | (https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51888076422_8b0271c389_o.png) |
