A neat Pennsylvania badge worn by a member of the 200th Pennsylvania Infantry. The hanger has an eagle with two United States flags on either side. "200th Penns. Vols." is written on the hanger. The ribbon is blue. The drop is in the form of a shield and the Ninth Corp badge is in the middle of the drop. Written around the drop is "1st Brigade - 3rd Division - 9th Army Corps - A. of P.(Army of the Potomac)". The rear portion of the ribbon is in fragile state and has been reinforced with acid free tape.
Two Hundredth Infantry. — Col., Charles W. Diven; Lieut. -Col., W. H. H. McCall; Maj., Jacob Rehrer. The 200th, from the counties of York, Cumberland and Dauphin, was mustered into the U. S. service at Camp Curtin, Harrisburg, Sept. 3, 1864, for one year. All the field officers had served in the reserve corps and were experienced in military tactics. It left for the front on Sept. 9, joined the army of the James, was posted at Dutch gap on its arrival, and assisted in repelling the attack of the enemy at Chester Station, on Nov. 19. On the 28th it was transferred to the army of the Potomac, assigned to the 1st brigade, (Col. Diven) 3d division, (Gen. Hartranft) 9th corps, (Gen. Parke) and stationed at a camp near the Dunn house battery on the road to Fort Stedman. During the ensuing winter it was well drilled and performed fatigue duty upon the fortifications in the rear of the army. The command was hotly engaged at Fort Stedman on March 25, 1865, losing 14 killed and 109 wounded, among the latter being Col. Diven. Said Gen. Hartranft, in his official report: "The 200th Pa. volunteers, Lieut. - Col. McCall commanding, deserves particular mention. This regiment was put to the severest test and behaved with the greatest firmness and steadiness. The regiment made two stubborn attacks on the enemy and when compelled to retire it fell back in good order." It participated with its division in the final assault on Petersburg, where it again behaved with great gallantry and coolness, losing 2 killed, 34 wounded and 3 missing. It then shared in the pursuit of the enemy until his surrender on the 9th. After Johnston's surrender it proceeded to City Point and thence by transport to Alexandria, where the recruits were transferred to the 51st Pa. on May 30, 1865, and on the same date the regiment was mustered out.
