I have seen little action with the old captain as a company, but as the new captain steps in it will be a time of victory, teamwork and courage. As i walk with my comrades into the musket fire and into the cannons i wont give up at the sound of hearing an ear piercing cry, the whistle of a cannon, the pop of the muskets. I WILL give up the battle as soon as we win, that's for sure. I cant wait to serve with you Captain. Let's get those dirty reds and drive them back to the small cracks in the ground, where they belong!

[Benjamin F. Ogle]

Can't wait to see you on the field Pvt. Walker.

Let me be one of the first to wish you good luck in moving forward with the 8th Ohio Co. D Capt. Ogle! The 8th was a proud company and fought with honor and distinction not only at the Battle of Antietam, but over 3.5 years of the Civil War.

Regarding the War of Rights community, I do want to be clear that I am no longer associated with this company in any way, and have handed over ALL control to Capt. Ogle who will run the company as he sees fit. I have received some messages in that regard, and just wanted to clear up any confusion associated with this transition.

[Benjamin F. Ogle]

Thanks for the support

Good luck Lads

Company disbanded to merge with another.

[Ben H. Phillips]

Sad to hear

[Shiloh]

I clearly made the wrong choice in trusting you to run the 8th when I could no longer continue. I have no words although disappointment comes to mind.

oh yikes, which company eh?
