It will be seen from this that
the Eighth Regiment was in seventy-six Battles and Skirmishes.
The Regiment marched about two thousand two hundred and
sixty miles, and was transported by rail road and steamship, two
thousand three hundred and eighty miles, making an aggregate of 4,640
miles traveled during its term of service.
Including Field and Staff Officers, the rolls of the
Regiment bear the names of 993 members, originally 45 officers, and 944
enlisted men; of these 198 died or were killed in battle, 62 had been
transferred to various organizations, 42 to Fourth Ohio Battalion, and
340 discharged for promotion, wounds and disability.
The deserter's list shows a few names, but as most of
these men returned to duty or have had the disability, arising from the
record annulled since the war, by authority of the War Department, it
would be improper and unjust to mention any names at this time.
