The first company of the Second Maryland Regiment, which took such a distinguished part In the battle of Gettysburg, was formed in the summer of 1862 by Captain William H. Murray. Subsequently other companies were raised by J. Parran Crane, James K. Herbert, John W. Torsch, Joseph L. McAleer, Andrew J. Gwinn and W. W. G ddsborough. In September, 1862, the respective companies were organized into a battalion, with James R. Herbert as major. In January, 1863. Major Herbert was electedlieutenaut-coloneL and not long afterwardsCapt. Goldsborough was promoted to major. On June 16, 1863. the battalion was formally attached to Gen. Gouge H. SteuArt’s brigade, which was thep composed of the First ana Third North Carolina, the Tenth, Twenty-third and Thirty-seventh Virginia regiments.At the battle of Gettysburg the Second Maryland Battalion lost on Culp’s Hill over two-thirds of the command, the estimate being about 245 killed and wounded.

Among those seriously wounded was tne late Gen. James R. Herbert, Maj. W.W.
