This uncommon ribbon belonged to a member or close associate of the 148th New York and offers a full accounting of their combat service during the Civil War.  Made of white silk, all text and designs are printed on the front in navy-blue and red.  A 24th Corps symbol/badge rests inside an 18th Corps symbol/badge – a reference to the two Army Corps in which they served through each of their battles from 1864-1865. Dimensions are 2.5” x 6.75”.  Very minor fraying and a light stain are noted along and near the bottom edge – condition is otherwise nice. Reverse is blank, with similar staining and perhaps a singed corner.

The 148th New York Infantry Regiment was authorized to recruit from the 26th Senatorial District of the State. They were organized at Geneva, Ontario County and mustered in under the command of Colonel William Johnson on September 14, 1862, for a term of service of three years. The 148th served in the Department of Virginia through June 1865 and mustered out June 22, 1865, then under the command of Colonel John B. Murray. During its service the regiment lost by death, killed in action, 2 officers, 63 enlisted men; of wounds received in action, 2 officers, 42 enlisted men; of disease and other causes, 2 officers, 156 enlisted men; total, 6 officers, 261 enlisted men. Total lost was 267, 24 of them enlisted men who died as prisoners.

Overall, a rare piece for the collector of Civil War Veteran items.   [cm][ph:L]
