Petersburg and the Appomattox operations. This unit lost 7
killed and 35 wounded at Second Manassas and 5 killed and 43
wounded at Fredericksburg. At Chancellorsville it lost ten
percent of the 350 engaged, and at Gettysburg about ten
percent of the 331 were disabled. The 45th surrendered with
8 officers and 85 men. 

Its field commanders were Colonels Thomas Hardeman, Jr. and
T.J. Simmons; Lieutenant Colonels James W. Carter, C.A.
Conn, Washington L. Grice, and William S. Wallace; and
Majors Aurelius W. Gibson and M.R. Rogers.
