GENERAL ORDERS,
HDQRS. FOURTH ARMY CORPS, Numbers 21.
Nashville, Tenn., June 7, 1865.

To the officers and soldiers of the regiments of 1862 who are about to leave us the general commanding the corps desires to tender his congratulations upon their past proud career and good wishes for their future prosperity and happiness. Coming into service at a period of the war when success seemed doubtful after all the illusions of excitement and first impressions that war was all pomp and glory had worn off, you from the beginning of your service pretty fully realized the stern, hard task before you, and well have you performed that task. In all that constitutes a veteran soldier you are not one whit behind any soldier in our great Army. In this army particularly your regiments have passed through all the important battles fought by the Army of the Cumberland. How much influence these battles have had in destroying the great rebellion of this century, history must determine. Of the award these regiments of 1862 will have a full share. The rebellion is ended and you leave us for your homes. Brought up, as our young men of the North are, to industry and self-exertion, you will find it no inconvenience or hardship to exchange the discomforts of camp and the vicissitudes of military life for the peaceful avocations of the citizen. We part with you in sorrow and will until the end of life cherish you in our memories as our brave, amiable and constant friends and companions in arms.

By command of Major General D. S. Stanley:

WM. H. SINCLAIR,

Assistant Adjutant-General.
