32nd Indiana Infantry

The 32nd Indiana Infantry, serving in the 1st Brigade under Willich, 2nd Division under Johnson, and 20th Corps under McCook, marched with its brigade on the morning of September 19, 1863, from the right of the Union Army to support General Thomas. Reaching the field about 10 a.m., it immediately engaged the enemy about one fourth of a mile to the rear of this position, then charged with other regiments of the brigade and drove the enemy from the line on which this monument stands. In that charge, the regiment captured two pieces of artillery, three caissons, and many prisoners. On Sunday afternoon, September 20, it moved to the left wing of the Union Army east of Kelly Field, where it and other troops charged the advancing enemy and drove him back around the Union left. At 5 p.m. it withdrew from the field under orders. Its casualties on September 19 and 20 were 1 officer and 20 men killed, 4 officers and 77 men wounded, and 20 men missing, for a total of 122.
