Here we have a soldier of the 6th Wisconsin Infantry Regiment: part of the legendary western “Iron Brigade” in the summer of 1863. By this point of the war, the regiment had been part of the 1st Brigade, 1st Division of the Army of the Potomac’s 1st Corps and were among the first infantry regiments to engage in the fighting on the first day of the battle of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania on July 1, 1863. Although many of the regiment, by this point, had been issued sack coats, this particular soldier had retained the regiment’s distinctive federal frock coat, as well as the linen and leather leggings that were issued to the 6th and many units in the Army of the Potomac in 1862. The 6th Wisconsin Infantry regiment was organized in July of 1861, at Camp Randall in Madison, Wisconsin and participated in almost all of the major engagements in the Eastern Theater of the Civil War until they were mustered out of service in July of 1865. Regiment lost during service 16 Officers and 228 Enlisted men killed and mortally wounded and 1 Officer and 112 Enlisted men by disease. Total 357.
