The following roster of Company B, 28th Wisconsin Volunteer Regiment was extracted from the Waukesha County Freeman newspaper of 30 September 1862. By war's end, the roster of company officers looked much different. Captain Townsend had been killed in action at Mark's Mills, Arkansas, 1st Lt. Davis had been mustered out due to disability, 2nd Lt. Slawson was promoted twice, and of the original five sergeants, only Vanderpool remained at that rank. McCall died at Pine Bluff, Arkansas, Eldridge was discharged, Bennett had been promoted, and McDonald reduced in rank to private.

Italicized notes from the soldier's service were extracted from a regimental roster published and sold by S.W. Martin of Madison, Wisconsin, after the war. The Waukesha Freeman editor may or may not have been an accurate speller: alternate name spellings found in other records are noted in parentheses.
