24th Regiment, Georgia Infantry

The 24th Infantry Regiment, which was organized during the summer of 1861, recruited its members from the counties of Banks, Elbert, Gwinnett, Hall, Towns, Rabun and White.  Originally serving in the Department of North Carolina, the unit was moved to Virginia where it was brigaded under Generals H. Cobb, T. R. R. Cobb, Wofford & DuBose.

The 24th fought in the difficult campaigns of the Army of Northern Virginia from the Seven Days' Battles to Gettysburg, and then moved to Georgia with Gen. Longstreet.  The 24th was not engaged at Chickamauga, but did see action in the Knoxville Campaign.  Returned to Virginia, the unit participated in the conflicts at The Wilderness, Spotsylvania, and Cold Harbor, was active in the Shenandoah Valley, and ended the war at the surrender at Appomattox.

In April of 1862, this regiment totaled 660 effectives; it lost forty-three percent of the 292 engaged at Crampton's Gap, and had 4 killed, 39 wounded, and 2 missing at Sharpsburg.  It sustained 36 casualties at Fredericksburg; reported 14 killed and 73 wounded at Chancellorsville, and of the 303 at Gettysburg, seventeen percent were disabled.  Many of the men were captured at Sayler's Creek and only 4 officers and 56 men surrendered on April 9, 1865.

The field officers were: Colonels Robert McMillan and C.C. Sanders; Lieutenant Colonels Joseph N. Chandler and Thomas E. Winn; and Majors Robert E. McMillan and Frederick C. Smith.
