145th New York Infantry

Documents in the CW pension records state that Lt. Charles P Hanson enrolled Sept 7, 1862 and received a sabre wound on or about 8 day of February, 1863 about two miles from Stafford Court House where he was detailed with a squad of men to dig trenches, and was attacked by a number of reble cavalry. He was discharged from the unit (probably due to the wound) on February 25th. Lt. Hanson also served at the beginning of the war as a Private in the 8th New York Militia which participated in the first Battle of Bull Run.

Henry May was the Asst Surgeon for the duration of the 145th.

Jan 1864 transferred to 150th NY Infantry when the 145th was dissolved.
