Medal is named to Ellem K. Bosworth of the 10th West Virginia of Co. B. Medal is in excellent condition with the original silk ribbon. The 10th regiment was recruited in the latter part of 1861, the first companies being assigned to duty under Gen. Rosecrans, then in command of the Frontier Department. Its organization was not completed until May, 1862, when it was attached to the command of Gen. Milroy, and took part in the operations of that army during the remainder of the year. In May, 1863, it was ordered back to West Virginia and attached to the brigade commanded by Gen. Averell. The first action of the regiment as a body was at Beverly, in July, 1863, where it was attacked by the enemy under Col. W. L. Jackson, and notwithstanding the regiment was greatly outnumbered it held Jackson at bay for two days, when reinforcements arrived and the Confederates were routed. It fought at Cloyd\'s mountain, where it was highly complimented by Gen. Averell for its gallantry, and afterward was with that officer in several raids and expeditions. In the campaign against Gen. Early in the Shenandoah Valley in 1864, it was in action at Snicker\'s ferry, Winchester, Berryville, the Opequan, Fisher\'s hill and Cedar creek. After Sheridan\'s victories in the Valley it joined the Army of the James and continued in the operations about Petersburg and Richmond until the close of the war. It was mustered out Aug. 9, 1865.
