THE COLORS OF THE ONE HUNDRED AND TENTH.

After its organization, and before the regiment left Ohio for the front, the ladies of the city of Piqua presented to the regiment a beautiful stand of colors. On receiving them from the hands of the ladies, the regiment gave a pledge that they should never be dishonored while in their keeping. Nobly was that pledge kept. For three long, eventful years, in camp, on the toilsome march, on the field of mortal combat, midst the smoke and thunder of more than twenty battles, the colors of the One Hundred and Tenth were never dishonored by desertion of their defenders, or the touch of an enemy's hand. The stand of colors presented by the ladies were carried from 1862 up to the spring of 1864, when the colors, or battle-flag, torn and battle-stained, was by a vote of the regiment presented to Gen. J. Warren Keifer. The banner received from the ladies, and the new flag obtained in 1864, were carried to the close of the war. The colors of the One Hundred and Tenth were carried on the fields of Winchester, June 13, 14 and 15, 1863, Wapping Heights, Kelly's Ford, Brandy Station, Locust Grove, Mine Run, Wilderness, Spottsylvania, Gaines' Mills, Cold Harbor, Bermuda Hundred, Petersburg, June 22, 1864, Monocacy, Charlestown, Smithfield, Winchester. 1864, Flint Hill, Fisher's Hill, Cedar Creek, Petersburg. March 25, 1865, Petersburg. April 2, 1865, Sailors' Creek and Appomattox.

Twice the colors of the One Hundred and Tenth fell from the hands of its slain defenders. Three times was its staff pierced by the enemy's bullets, and sixty balls passed through its folds, but no enemy's hand ever dishonored or defiled it by a touch. It waved in triumph over the glorious fields of Cedar Creek, Richmond and Appamattox, being one of the first to cross the works at Cedar Creek and Richmond.

When the regiment was mustered out in 1865, the colors then carried were deposited at the State capital, where they now are.
