Albion Caleb Squires lived in Jordan, Green Co. Wisc. and married Sarah Isabelle McDonald there on 27 Jul 1862. He then enlisted as a private in Comp. G, 22nd. Wisc. Inf. on 2 Aug. 1862. The 22nd. Wisc. was sometimes called the 'Abolitionist Regiment', and was led by Col. William L. Utley, a relative by marriage of Albion Caleb Squires. Albion received a disability discharge on 13 Jan, 1864, and received a Distinguished Service Award.

This was my gg grandfather. At the time of enlistment he was living in Racine, Wisconsin, and working as a farmer.
According to his Civil War pension papers, in June, 1864 near Kenasaw Mountian, Georgia, '...he was ordered to advance and throw up breatsworks that night, it was dark, and in rolling up a large log onto the breastwroks it slipped and came back
knocking him down-and rolled over him injured his back and spine so that he was scarcely able to move himself, that night he lay without medical attention suffering intense pain from his injury and a fever set in, he was then taken to the Regimental Hospital his spine and back was so injured that he has never been able or will [sic] that time to perform manual labor.'
Lyman spent the remander of the war in hospitals, being mustared out in June, 1865. He returned to civilian live, living in Black Hawk County Iowa working as a harness maker, a profession he continued with until retirement.

Was there a picture of the 22nd Wisconsin Infantry Co. H taken?

Joined regiment 8/11/1862. Was ill, recovering in a private home when the regiment was captured by Gen. Forrest, & evaded capture/imprisonment with a handful of surgeons & sick. Was reunited with 22nd after prisoner exchange, remained active through Grand Review, mustered out when regiment was disbanded, 6/12/1865.

Looking for some information plus a picture of his group
