110th Ohio Infantry at Brandy House
Trout’s Company I, 110th Regiment of the Ohio Volunteer Infantry was moved to Brandy Station by the Army of the Potomac originally at the beginning of November 1863 where Confederate artillery shelled the regiment, but the 110th still occupied the Southerners' position. Officials detached four companies of the 110th to act as a train guard, while the majority of the regiment took part in the Battle of Locust Grove (November 27-29, 1863), having five men killed and twenty more wounded. The entire regiment then re-formed at Brandy Station, entering winter quarters on December 3, 1863. In March 1864, officials assigned the 110th to the 2nd Brigade, 3rd Division, 6th Corps.
