In the fire of war, Colonel Edward E. Cross garnered glory as commander of the unit that sustained more battlefield casualties than any in the Union Army. General Winfield Scott Hancock, who called Cross's Fifth New Hampshire Volunteers as good as any regiment in the world, told Cross at Gettsyburg, "After this battle you'll get your general's star."
