The 1st US Infantry (Regular Army) was assigned to the post at Corinth from July to November, 1862. During the battle they manned the siege guns. Company A was one of three companies manning Battery Phillips.

You will find them in the following order of battle in the Army of the Mississipi under Rosecrans as an unattached unit:
