Was wounded 3 times in the course of the war - and listed in the Honor Roll because one night he sneaked past the enemy lines and rescued a wounded comrade who had been left on the battlefield the day before. Lived in Eleva, Wis. Gilbert writes, "The enemy had fortified themselves on the mountain ridge Basset Rust, Georgia and the 15th Wis. received orders to drive them off, something another regiment had made a failed attempt at before we came. Now, the Norwegian boys who were used to such terrain climbed quickly and bravely to the mountain top. That the rebels shot and rolled stones did not worry them. During a rapid bayonet attack the enemy was driven from their entrenchment and down the other side of the mountain. At that time we were under General Willich. Among the other regiments in his brigade there was a German one who he thought highly of since he was a German himself. One day General Thomas, the Corps Chief, wished to take the 15th from him and give him a larger (Yankee) regiment instead. But Willich did not wish that and expressed himself in the following manner, 'I can take mein dutch regiment, the durthy-second and mein little norsk regiment, the 15th, and lick a whole division of Yanks!' However, what is certain is that the Norwegian Regiment was treated with partiality in the army. For example it can be mentioned that as a rule we got the first and best sites in camps. But we also paid heavily for that - with blood. The 15th Wis. took part in several hard and decisive battles and lost more men than any other regiment from our area." GRØNNING, Mons from Strandbarm.
