wounded; among the killed was G. W. Parkhill, Captain of Co. M. At the
battle of Frazier's Farm, June 30, the Regiment lost 14 killed and 67
wounded. Among the wounded was Col. E. A. Perry. Following the battle of

Frazier's Farm came the Maryland campaign. On December 13,the battle of
Fredericksburg was fough. The Regiment lost 4 killed and 34 wounded.

There is no report accessible of the casualties during the years 1864
and 1865, and it was during these years that some of the most desperate
and bloody battles were fought; and in all of them the 2nd Florida did its

full measure of duty. It was but a \skeleton of a splendid regiment
that surrendered at Appomatox Court House. But 7 officers and 59 men.
