Fantastic 2ND Wisconsin Infantry identified grouping with
State issue tunic, trousers and state contract Campaign hat
with snowflake vents on each side. Campaign hat has red
Spanish War Veterans hat cord. Very nice set of Veterans
badges and medals. Almost impossible to get a nice
identified combat group like this one. $1825 The unit
was organized as a National Guard regiment on April 26,
1882. During the Spanish American War, the unit enlisted en
masse as volunteers on April 28, 1898 at Camp Harvey,
Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The 2nd Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry
was mustered into the United States service May 12, 1898 at
Camp Harvey, and was assigned to the Third Brigade, First
Division, of the First Army corps. At the time the unit was
mustered into service, the unit consisted of forty-nine
officers and 972 enlisted men. The day following their
mustering in, the regiment departed for for Camp Thomas,
located on the old Civil War Battlefield of Chickamauga,
Georgia. The men arrived in Georgia four days later.
On July 5, 1898, the 2nd Wisconsin was transferred To
the First Brigade, First Division, First Army Corps, and
went on to serve in
Puerto Rico.
The 2nd Wisconsin left Camp Thomas on July 5, arriving at
Charleston, South Carolina two days later. The regiment
departed the United States on July 20, arriving off Puerto
Rico six days later. The unit arrived at first at Guanica,
Puerto Rico but was immediately redirected to Ponce, with
their transport entering the harbor on July 27.
The unit's assigned line of march was along the road
leading from Ponce to San Juan, the capital. This route led
past the small town of Coamo. Here, it was found that the
Spanish had entrenched. On August 9, while other units were
sent to attack on the flank, the 2nd Wisconsin, now only 824
men strong, was directed to advance on the main road into
the rown. Before the unit could get into position, firing
was heard on the flanks, indicating that the other units
were already engaged. A battalion of the regiment was
ordered forward quickly, only to find the bridge leading
into the town burned. Another route had to be found. The 2nd
Wisconsin finally entered the town, only to find it
deserted. The town has already
surrendered to
reporter Richard Harding Davis!
On August 10, the 2nd Wisconsin continued to exchange
fire with the Spanish troops.
On the night of August 12 at Aibonito, the 2nd and 3rd
Wisconsin made a flanking in march to get behind the Spanish
troops in preparation for an attack on August 13. Before the
attack could occur, it was learned that the armistice was
signed and the fighting was over. The expected attack was
called off.
Nine companies of the 2nd Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry
departed Puerto Rico on September 1, 1898
