The 9th Maine in the Wilmington Campaign

As I wrote in an earlier post on February 22, 2022, I found that the 9th Maine was not at the the first two battles of Fort Fisher, but was transferred from the Army of the James and joined the other regiments of its brigade at Fort Fisher February 11, 1865, and then participated in the remainder of what is called the Wilmington Campaign or Battle of Wilmington.

This is where the 9th served in the Union Order of Battle for that campaign.

It was in TERRY'S PROVISIONAL  CORPS, commanded by  Major General Alfred H. Terry, Brig. Gen. Joseph R. Hawley.

SECOND DIVISION (XXIV CORPS)  Brig. Gen. Adelbert Ames

3RD BRIGADE   Lt. Col. Nathan J. Johnson (until  14 Feb.), Col. George F. Granger

13th Indiana
9th Maine
4th New Hampshire
115th New York
169th New York
