Company K 125th Pennsylvania Infantry Regiment
From Pension file:
July 8, 1862 to May 19, 1863, Company “K”, regiment 125 Pennsylvania
The 125th Pennsylvania Infantry volunteered during the American Civil War and served a 9-month term from August 1862 to May 1863.[1] It selected the motto In God We Trust.[2] The Regiment fought at the Battle of Antietam[1][3] under the leadership of Colonel Jacob C. Higgins[1] less than six weeks after being recruited in Blair, Cambria and Huntingdon Counties. The Regiment was noted for its charge through the East Woods, along the Great Cornfield, down Smoketown Road, past the Dunker Church, and into the West Woods.[4] While in formation beyond the Dunker Church in an 'overextended' position, the Regiment repulsed four counterattacks at a price of 229 casualties (33% of engaged) within 20 minutes.[5] A fifth, heavily reinforced Confederate counterattack forced a retreat with a desperate struggle to retain the Regimental colors. Two weeks before the end of their enlistment, the 125th Pennsylvania also occupied the perimeter of Chancellorsville, Virginia, during the Battle of Chancellorsville.[1][3]
