A portion of the regiment held a position in the trenches near Ft. Negley during the battle of Nashville, December 14-16, 1864, where the regiment was stationed until it was mustered out of the service of the United States on the 17th of July, 1865. The Forty-fifth returned to Madison on July 23rd and was shortly thereafter disbanded.
