Regimental History
Independent Batteries. — Nine light batteries (A to I inclusive) were organized in the state while the war was in progress and served at various places as independent organizations, but all rendered a good account of themselves, winning praise from their commanding generals on many occasions.

Battery A. — Capts., Frank Schaffer, S. Motlowski. Battery A was recruited in Philadelphia and there mustered in early in Sept., 1861, for three years. Its entire term of service was spent at Fort Delaware, Del. The original members who did not reenlist were mustered out at Philadelphia on Sept. 19, 1864, and the reenlisted men and recruits at the same place on June 30, 1865.
