    7th Georgia Infantry Regiment, Company H "Roswell Guards"


    The 7th Georgia Infantry pictured above, led by Colonel Francis Bartow, advancing towards the Union battery on Henry Hill.
    The Union regiments opposing the 7th Georgia included several renowned regiments including the 11th New York Fire Zouaves, the 14th Brooklyn, and the not yet famous 1st Minnesota Volunteer Infantry

    History

    The Georgia 7th Infantry Regiment was formed in May, 1861, at Atlanta, Georgia, and in June moved to Harper’s Ferry, Virginia. Assigned to Colonel F. S. Bartow’s Brigade, Army of the Shenandoah, it was active in the fight at First Manassas. In April, 1861, the regiment had 611 effectives and served under the command of General G. T. Anderson until the end of the war.

    The 7th participated in the campaigns of the Army of Northern Virginia from the Seven Day’s Battles to Cold Harbor, except when it was detached with Longstreet at Suffolk, in Georgia, and at Knoxville. The 7th was not involved in the Battle of Chickamauga. It was active in the long Petersburg siege south and north of the James River and later the Appomattox Campaign. It reported 153 casualties at First Manassas, 147 during the Seven Day’s Battles. Losses were light at Fredericksburg and Gettysburg, but from April 14 to May 6 there were 98 disabled, and from August 1 to December 31, 1864, the unit had 56 killed or wounded. On April 9, 1865, it surrendered with 24 officers and 164 men.

    The few who survived the war returned home to total destruction and for many of the men of Companies D and H, their wives and children were never found, having been shipped north by Sherman and left destitute in Ohio and Illinois. This story of the Roswell and Mansfield Mill Workers is another documented atrocity against southern civilians performed by Sherman and his troops.

    Ranking Structure



    The flag of the 7th Georgia Infantry
    Captain - Number of Positions: 1
    Organizes events, leads during events, and is in general just a badass.


    Lieutenant - Number of Positions: 1
    Answers to only the Captain, in charge of keeping the men organized and providing opinions on strategic moves. Handles the intake of recruits.


    Sergeant - Number of Positions: 2
    The only NCO position. Reserved for dedicated members who demonstrate their ability to be a likable, respectful, and experienced potential leader.


    Regular
    For members who show skill in all aspects of combat. Those that make it to this position will be the best the 7th Georgia has to offer in terms of combat. Members promoted to this rank will be the members who aspire to get better at the game and spend time group fighting and refining their skills.


    Private
    For members who made it past the trial period and have shown serious interest in being active members of the regiment. This is the highest promotable position for the majority of members that do not want to become better at the game.


    Recruit
    For potential members who have just joined the regiment. Recruits are not considered full members of the regiment and are on a trial period for 1 week or 2 events. This is done in order to filter out the people who will join, attend 1 event, and then disappear.
