The 8th fought at Goldsboro, moved to Wilmington, and on February 16, 1863, was ordered to Charleston, South Carolina. Here it took an active part in various conflicts, including the fight at Battery Wagner. Later it participated in the engagements at Plymouth, Brewery's Bluff, and Cold Harbor, and endured the long Petersburg siege south and north of the James River. During December, 1864, the unit was ordered to North Carolina and in March, 1865, saw action at Bentonville. It had 568 officers and men at Roanoke Island, sustained 9 casualties at Goldsboro, and during the Charleston Siege had 4 killed and 43 wounded of the 393 engaged.
