Brave Comrades as one or your
Generals who has shared in your perils so I sympathize in your cheer
for Victory. When I pass, the name of this Division is marked Southern Records
are full of you. In attack you have driven them. When assailed you
have repulsed them; Be it so to the end, new regiments we
give you a name, engrafh on it fresh laurels –
(II) Comrades in Battle let our greeting be with a cry of
defiance to the foe. After the fight one greeting of victory for ourselves,
this done, remember that like yourselves, I have my duties of labor in which I must
move unobserved, as a true brother in hand and heart of this our warrior Division family.
(III) Success attend you
