REGIMENTAL REUNIONS.
The various regiments which were in part recruited or raised in Genesee
county had reunions from time to time, and especially the Tenth and eighth
Michigan Infantry. These regiments have had their annual meeting at Flint,
Detroit, and flushing, at various times. The Tenth Michigan held its
golden jubilee at Flint on September 10, 1911. The Second Michigan
Infantry held its reunion at Flint in 1915. The Twenty-first Michigan also
meets here at times; the Sixteenth Michigan Infantry and the First
Michigan Engineers have also held reunions at Flint. The annual reunion of
the Eighth Michigan is held on June 16, the anniversary of the battle of
James Island, at which the regiment distinguished itself and suffered
heavily in killed and wounded. The Twenty-third Michigan held its reunion in Davison on August 7,
1893. |
