The regiment was commanded at Gettysburg by Captain Frederick Gimber, a Philadelphia clerk. The 109th took 149 men into battle, and lost three killed, six wounded, and one missing.
From the monument: "July 1st. The regiment arrived within two miles of Gettysburg about 5 p.m. and took position on the left of Baltimore Pike. July 2nd it moved here and built these works. In the evening it was withdrawn with the Brigade, and returning in the night, found the works in the possession of the enemy, when it formed at right angles to this line behind a ledge of rocks to the left and rear of this position designated on a marker. After severe fighting on the morning of the 3rd this line was recaptured and held until the close of battle." |
