The battalion took its place in line before the enemy on June 12th and participated in the various movements about Cold Harbor with the command to which it was attached reaching the trenches in front of Petersburg on June 16, 1864.

Lee (April 9, 1865) the Thirty-eighth marched to Washington and participated in the Grand Review, it remained in camp abouth the city until the 10th of June, when a portion of the enlisted men were mustered out; the balance on the 26th of July, and were returned to Madison, WI on the 11th of August, 1865, where the regiment was disbanded. |
