    Company B 29th Ohio

    To all those members of the GHTI, Hard Case Boys, Liberty Rifles, and other assorted individuals planning on serving with company B of the 29th Ohio at The Battle for New Hope this year:

    1. I need your email addresses. I will be starting the general updates email list soon and I need to make sure that everyone is up to date. Please PM or email them to me.

    buckandball@yahoo.com

    2. Get those registrations in.

    3. Start getting ready now. The park at Picketts Mill is very "up and down" to say the least. This will be a very active company and we will have to move fast and light.

    4. Start reviewing your manuals. We will be a battalion skirmmish company so be prepared.

    Looking forward to this one and seeing you boys in the ranks again

    your pard

                  Re: Company B 29th Ohio

                  At the beginning of May I will be sending the names, locations and emails of everyone in the company out on the company email list. This should allow all those wishing to carpool and save some gas money the chance to do so.



                  Here is some more info on the regiment and company

                  29th Ohio Infantry Staff and Company B

                  Notes on Officers and NCOs’ at the Battle of New Hope Church May 25-31, 1864
                  The regiment suffered 6 killed, 24 wounded, and 1 captured at Pumpkin Vine Creek

                  BATTALION STAFF
