The men of the 2nd formed up for the last time #otd 160 years ago to be paid after returning home to Providence. They served with honor and distinction losing 196 men KIA, 297 WIA and 62 MIA in 4 years, for a 28% casualty rate. #rihistory #ushistory #civilwar #americancivilwar

DID YOU KNOW?
According to regulations it was up to the first sergeant to make sure the men were filling their canteen with water and not whiskey.
Problem is... who’s watching the first sergeant? #whiskey #canteen #dyk #iykyk #water #camping #reenacting #rhodeisland #rihistory
