72nd Illinois Infantry
Regiment History

Adjutant General's Report
The Seventy-second Regiment Illinois Volunteers was organized at Chicago, as the first Regiment of the Chicago Board of Trade. Its first bills were put out for one Company, calling itself the "Hancock Guards," on July 23, 1862, and, exactly one month afterwards (August 23, 1862), the entire Regiment was complete and mustered into the service of the United States, for three years, or during the war. The very day of their muster they were started off for Cairo, where they arrived on the 24th. Thei strength at that time was thirty-seven (37) officers and 930 men.

On the 6th day of September they were ordered out to Paducah, Ky., where they went on post duty, until the 17th, when they were sent down to Columbus, Ky., at which point they did guard and picket duty, mainly, until November 21. They were not, however, idle in this time; but in addition to the thorough and constant drilling, which has since made them one of the finest organizations in the army, found time for two expeditions, one to Clarkson, Missouri, on October 6th, when they dispersed a rebel camp and captured a number of prisoners, horses, etc., and the other, on October 21, to New Madrid, which was not so eventful. On November 21 they were ordered to join General Quimby's command, Seventh Division, Seventeenth Army Corps, at Moscow, Tenn, and, with that command, they arrived, on December 1, 1862, at Lumpkin's Mills, Miss., whence they accompanied Grant's Army as far as the Yaconapatafa River. Owing to the supplies being cut off at Holly Springs, the army was forced to return, after penetrating as far as the point mentioned; and the Seventy-second was sent, as guard to the wagon train, to Memphis, Tenn. There, at a distance of about eight miles from the city, on the line of the Memphis and Charleston Railroad, they went into camp, and remained until January 19, 1863, when they were sent into the city, and quartered at the Navy Yard, to do provost guard duty. While making Memphis their headquarters, the Regiment went out on an expedition to Horn Lake Creek, where they dispersed a gang of Blythe's rebel guerrillas, capturing quite a number of them.

On March 1, the Division, of which the Seventy-second Regiment formed a part, started down the Yazoo Pass; but finding Fort Pemberton in their way, and not being able to take it just then, went back. April 23, they landed at Milliken's Bend, La., and, from there, marched up with Grant's Army to Vicksburg. On May 16, they arrived at Champion Hill, Just in time to turn the enemy's left, and, by that movement, decided the fate of the day. That was their first battle, and, fortunately for them, their share in it, although a most important one, was not very severe. On May 17, they found themselves at Big Black, in the rear of Vicksburg, and on the 19th, this Regiment was the first to open the attack on the rebel stronghold. In the desperate charge of the 22d, they participated with the highest honor to themselves, losing some 130 of their number killed, wounded and missing, but fighting as bravely as men could fight, until the last. From that time until July 4, when the rebels capitulated, the Seventy-second did its duty among the foremost in the siege, and, on the capituliition were among the first to enter the city,

On July 12, the Seventy-second embarked for Natchez, Miss., where they landed the succeeding day, taking possession of the town, capturing a large number of prisoners, pieces of artillery, confederate government stores, and 5,000 head of Texas cattle. Here they remained until October 17, doing provost duty, with the exception of a couple of skirmishes at St. Catherine's Creek, Miss., September 1, and at Cross Bayou, La., on September 28.

October 18, 1863, they went on provost guard duty at Vicksburg, Miss., where they remained until October 30, 1864. During this year of comparative inaction, they only went on two expeditions. The first of these was to Benton, Miss., on May 7, 1864, where they had a short, but pretty severe fight with a body of rebels; and the second was to Grand Gulf, Miss., on July 18.

October 30, 1864, they were ordered to report to Major General Howard, command Army and Department of the Tennessee, then with Sherman's Army; and, in pursuance of this order, arrived at Nashville, Tenn, on November 18. They there found themselves too late to join Sherman in his great "march to the sea," and were ordered to Columbia. Tenn., to join Major General Schofield's command, which they did, on November 21, when Hood crossed the Tennessee River, and seemed coming down, "like a wolf on the fold." Schofield's Army found it convenient to retire towards Nashville. On November 29, they evacuated Columbia, and the Seventy-second was in a severe skirmish with the enemy at Spring Hill, on the road between Columbia and Franklin. On the succeeding day they arrived at Franklin, and hastily threw up some light earthworks. About 4 o'clock that afternoon Hood attacked them, and the battle raged from that hour until midnight, with terrific fury. In that fight the Seventy-second lost 9 officers out of 16 engaged, and 152 men, who were either killed or severely wounded. That night they left their works and retreated towards Nashville, which they reached on December 1; and here the Seventy-second was thrown on the extreme right of the Federal lines enclosing Nashville. under command of General A. J. Smith. On December 15, the whole Union Army was moved outside its works to give battle to Hood, and on that and the succeeding day the great battle of Nashville took place, resulting in the complete whipping of the "Rebs." From that time until January 3, 1865, they were engaged in the pursuit of Hood's Army, following it up closely as far as Clifton: but Hood managed to escape across the Tennessee River. From Clifton, the Regi ment went, by boat, up the Tennessee River, to Eastport, Miss., arriving there January 13, 1865, and there remaining in quarters until February 9, making, in that time, but one expedition, and that a fruitless one, to Iuka and Corinth, Miss.

February 9, they started for New Orleans, where they arrived February 21. Until March 21 they remained in camp eight miles below the city, and then they were embarked and taken across the Gulf to Dauphine Island, Ala., where they arrived on March 17. The next day the Brigade, which included the Seventy-second, crossed over to the main land, on the western shore of the Mobile Bay. Here they remained a few days. skirmishing with the enemy, when, having accomplished the object of the expedition, which was merely a feint on Mobile from that direction, they re-joined the army at Fish River, near Smith's Mills, Ala.

On March 26, the Corps to which they were attached moved, and on the morning of the 27th, appeared in front of Spanish Fort. From that time until the night of April 8, the Regiment was actively engaged in the siege. At 5 o'clock, on the evening of the 8th, the Union troops were ordered up into the first line of their works. The attack began, and at near midnight the First Brigade (including the Seventy-second) and the Third Brigade, Sixteenth Army Corps, charged on the enemy's works, and carried them, capturing the fort. The next morning they moved out on the road to Blakely, when their Division was held in support of the other Divisions charging the enemy's works at that place. The place having been taken, the command went into camp here until the 14th, on which date they moved forward on the road to Montgomery, Ala., marching over the 200 miles to that place in exactly eleven days. At Montgomery they remained in camp until May 23, when they were ordered to Union Springs, Ala., 45 miles from Montgomery. There they remained, doing post duty, until July 19, when they started on their homeward journey.

On August 6, they were mustered out of the service, at Vicksburg, and thence marched directly home to Chicago.

During their term of service they received some 450 recruits, and when ordered home they transferred 270 of these to the Thirty-third Regiment Illinois Veteran Volunteers, at Meridian, Miss. They brought home 22 offIcers and 310 men.

In an attack upon some of the Regiment by a gang of drunken rebels, at Yerger's Landing, on their way home, private Levi Derby, of Company E, was killed, and Sergeant Major Blake was so seriously injured by a pistol shot that his life was endangered.

The following little table of statistics is furnished by the Adjutant of the Regiment, and gives some idea of what their service has been:

"Jauch, 1887613, Pvt. Howard W., Co. F. Information given by [Archie] Timblin, Cpl. Co. F. Howard Jauch and I were members of the same squad. He was wounded at the Battle of Chipilly Ridge Aug. 9, 1918, about 5:35 p. m. We were lying down under a heavy fire. He was lying beside me when he was hit by a piece of shrapnel. He said, ''I am hit.'' I asked him if it was bad. He said, ''I don't think so." He didn't want us to give him first aid and didn't want to be sent back. He was not in great pain and considered it a slight wound. He said, ''It doesn't amount to anything. Go on and don't bother about me." I came back about seven o'clock but he had been removed. I didn't see or hear anything about him until we were notified of his death the next day at the hospital.

ROA remembers the forgotten war - Korea - Reserve Officers Association of the United States remembers Korean War, 1950-1953
Officer, The, March, 2002 by Carol A. Kelly

Capt George M. Ochs, USAF (Ret.), of Gainesville, Fla., was attending the University of Michigan when the Korean War broke out. He was recalled to McChord AFB, Wash., to serve as navigator assigned to the 62nd Troop Carrier Squadron. He tells the following story:

Our mission was to fly personnel and equipment to Japan via Alaska, and we returned that way or through Hawaii, depending on the needs.

When I was sent to Japan, I was with the 61st Troop Carrier Squadron stationed at Ashiya AFB, Japan. As space in and out of Korea was critical, I became a member of Traffic Movement Control (TMC), which monitored the movement of the C-54 in and out of Korea.

The most critical time was when the Chinese entered the war. The advance base was called K-47. This was an enlarged section of road above the 38th Parallel. To land, you came in over a mountain and made a dive for the runway. In taking off, about 30 seconds off the runway, you were over the front line. To the left, there was a 3,000-foot mountain.

For six weeks, it was touch and go if the lines could hold. The squadron flew about 60 missions a day with the squadron's planes (three or four flights of four aircraft per flight). Each plane was loaded with 18,000 pounds of ammunition. We had to schedule so that the first plane was over K-47 at daybreak. Planes were scheduled five minutes apart. As the plane landed, the Marines were waiting to unload them. One was at the front, another parked and unloading, and the third loaded with ammo was off to the front. This was kept up all day, the last plane off at dusk. We used to wonder if the ammo that we had just offloaded was being fired when we took off.

To put it mildly, the crews were really stretched thin. At TMC, we had two lists: one, of the pilots who drank, and the other of those who did not. If the first pilot was a drinker, the sober co-pilot was with him. The same was true the other way around. To the squadron's credit during these six weeks, we never lost a man or a plane or a cargo, and we sure as hell had great respect for the Marines.

Ochs was an associate professor of history at the University of Wisconsin, Oshkosh until his retirement. He was very active in the national Democratic Party and was involved with a variety of charitable organizations. He received his undergraduate degree at Grinnell College in `1949, his M.A. from the University of Michigan (1951), and his Ph.D. at the University of Illinois (1960).
