Lt. Colonel Chase Philbrick,
15th Massachusetts Infantry
Lt-Col. Chase Philbrick of the 15th Massachusetts Infantry
(click on photo to see larger version)
The photographs above are of Lieutenant-Colonel Chase Philbrick* of the 15th Massachusetts Infantry. The CDV photograph (pictured on the left) appears to have been taken shortly after Chase was promoted from Captain of Company H. A detailed examination of these two photographs shows the effects of war on Chase. The photo on the left shows him in apparently healthy condition where as the photograph on the left shows the effects of sickness and battle. Chase struggled not only with his Confederate opponents but also dysentery for the later part of his military career. So severe was his dysentery in December of 1862, that he was carried into battle on a stretcher only to be injured further by an exploding Rebel shell. The regimental surgeon attending him was killed and Chase suffered a wound to his ankle by the shrapnel.
* CHASE8 PHILBRICK (JOSEPH7, SIMEON6, BENJAMIN5, NATHAN4, JAMES3, JAMES2, THOMAS1) – See Chapman’s book, page 43.
