The Ninth Connecticut rendered great service to the cause of the Union. NO regiment in the Nineteenth Corps, or in any corps, possessed braver hearts or a firmer spirit Of loyalty to the Republic. More than forty years have passed since the Ninth was mustered in, and the ranks of the survivors are growing thinner year by year. Hardly more than 100 Officers and men of the command, out of the total enlist ment, are now known to be alive. But of those who are still with us, the greater part are as erect in body and as clear in mind as they were the day they enlisted. The years have dealt kindly with them.
