43rd Pennsylvania Volunteers
1st Light Artillery
Battery I
Recruited from surplus of other batteries
Brief History
Organized as part of the Reserve Corps, the 1st Pennsylvania Light Artillery
comprised eight original batteries mustered into service in June, 1861.
A ninth battery, Battery "I" was formed in March, 1865 from the surplus
recruits of the other batteries. The eight original batteries never acted
as a unified force, being parcelled out to battalions and brigades in different
divisions and corps. As a result, the individual batteries saw much varied
action with both the Army of the Potomac and the Army of the James.
