Hi everyone. Had two questions, although not sure if this is the right place for it.
1) Is there any record of what the longest serving Union regiment was during the war? For instance, were there any units that just kept re-upping after their enlistment expiry?
2) Given the Confederate practice of replenishing versus creating, does this mean there were numerous regiments in existing that served from 1861-1865 (even if none of the men did)?
