But a large proportion of them enlisted for ninety days, six months, one year, or two years, and reentered the service upon the expiration of their term of enlistment. Thus, the names of many soldiers appear two or more times upon the rolls, and in different regiments. Reduced to a three years' standard of enlistment, the total enrollment of the Union Army would equal 2,326,168 men. Using this as a basis for computation, the following percentages are obtained : KILLED OR DIED OF WOUNDS. * Heavy Artillery, acting as infantry, is included with the infantry. t Does not include officers in volunteer regiments detailed on staff duty. t Many of the Kegulars were stationed on post duty.
