On the 9th The enlisted men of the Reg't were paid off, as fast as they were paid, they shook hands with their comrades and started for home. At 5. P.M. on the 9th Co. "F." 11th Ind. Vet. Inftry Vol's. was formed the last time, also being the last company paid, and was marched to the Paymasters stand, and as fast as paid, shook hands all round, and with tears in many instances, started to their respective homes. Thus at last breaking the strong ties we had formed for one another in a service of 4 years & one month. Thus was our glorious career as a Regiment ended, a regiment that led the van, and was the acknowledged star regiment, amongst the many noble ones from Indiana. A regiment that fought 15 regular battles, and was under fire 77 different days, and never faltered. This Reg't was organized for the 3 month service Apr 25 1861, as such mustered out Aug. 8" 1861. Long will be remembered the Eleventh Ind. Zouave Vet. Inftry Volunteers!!!!
