Superb standing view of the drummer boy of the 103rd Ohio Volunteers holding his painted regimental drum. Photo was taken in Elyria, Ohio in 1864. The 103rd served in Tennessee and Georgia and took casualties at Resaca, Dallas, Marietta, Kennesaw, and Atlanta Georgia. During the siege of Knoxville the regiment lost about 35 in killed and wounded. In May, 1864, it formed part of Sherman's grand army and in the engage-ment at Resaca lost over one-third of its effective force. The regiment lost heavily during the Atlanta campaign. On May 1 its effective force numbered 450 men, but when Atlanta had fallen it could only muster 195. It followed Hood to Tennessee and had another opportunity of showing its pluck at the battle of Spring Hill. After Hood had been driven from Nashville the regiment went to North Carolina, thence to Ohio, and was mus-tered out on June 12, 1865. A truly wonderful drummer boy image.As with all my items No Reserve.Materials, Packing, and Postage is $12.00. Insurance is $1.50 per hundred, and $3 for USPS signature required service.
