[ChaseTheRedNeck]

 I am Chase Futrell, the Colonel of the 55thIL. I am in the Douglas Brigade. Here is a short history of the 55thIL. The 55th Illinois Infantry was organized at Camp Douglas, Chicago, Illinois and mustered into Federal service on October 31, 1861. Training continued at Benton Barracks, Missouri. The 55th was part of Sherman's Yazoo Expedition. If you would like to join the 55thILL, add chasefutrell on steam!
