Honoring our military this Memorial Day 2017.
From North Carolina Historic Sites "Black Troops at Fort Fisher."
The 27th USCT regiment participated in the mop-up operations against Fort Fisher on the night of January 15, 1865 and were involved in the initial surrender negotiations.
The regiment was from Ohio and was just one day shy of having a year's service at Fort Fisher, having been organized at Camp Delaware on January 16, 1864.
They served initially in the IX Corps, Army of the Potomac before being transferred to the XXV Corps.
