Smith for re- marks, He said in part: It is not my purpose now nor do T belleve it is in harmony with your wishes that T should at this time ex- press any fulsome praise of our ser- vices in the Civil war. Whenever I think of my own service in the war it seems so slight and the time of my enlistment so short that I shrink from placing any value upon it. But, comrades, is not this true when applied to every individual soidier and every regiment? Weighed individually our services were of trifling value, but welghed collectively the results grand, and of incalculable value. It is sometimes said of men, “they did bet- ter than they knew,” in other words they did not realize how much they were accomplishing and this was true of our efforts. | the honor and all the glory that came to our regiment came to us dur- ing the overtime that we remained in service after our term of enlistment expired, Instead of leaving for home at end of nine months we remained service one vear, and it was our three months that gave us any right to feel that we had been of any value to the gevernment. During that three months we had an honorable share in the capture of Port on dnd our victory opened the ippi river the in last LEONARD O. SMITH. During that three months more than one-quarter of the fighting force of our regiment were either kiled or wounded it bat- tle. One in four of all our men were shot.
