Among the ministers who served as officers were: Hasbrouck Davis, who
became a general; William B. Greene, colonel; Gerald Fitzgerald, who
enlisted as a private, rose to the rank of first lieutenant, and was
elected chaplain of his regiment; Edward I. Galvin, lieutenant, also
elected chaplain; James K. Hosmer, who served through the war, at
first as a private and then as a corporal, writing his experiences
into The Color Guard and The Thinking Bayonet; George W. Shaw and
Alvin Allen, privates. Thomas D. Howard and James H. Fowler were
chaplains in colored regiments. After service as a chaplain of a Hew
Hampshire regiment, Edwin M. Wheelock became a lieutenant in a
colored regiment, as did Charles B. Webster. Thomas W. Higginson was
colonel of a colored regiment, and in another Henry Stone was
lieutenant colonel. It is doubtful if this list is complete, though
an effort has been made to have it as nearly so as possible. Those
who served in the army, and became ministers after leaving it, have
not been included. So far as known, only ordained ministers are
named.
