- Lot Description
Pinback in the shape of a shield, approx. 1 x 1.25 in., engraved, Lieut. J.W. Davis / Co. C / 25th Reg't Mass. Vol's. John W. Davis was a 42-year-old painter living in Worcester when he enlisted on October 2, 1861, and mustered in as first sergeant in Co. I of the 25th Massachusetts. He earned promotions to second and first lieutenant in April and October of 1862, and at some point transferred into Co. C. After going two and a half years without injury, Davis was wounded three times in two months while participating in Grant's Overland Campaign in the spring and summer of 1864: at Proctor's Creek (Drewry's Bluff) on May 16; at Cold Harbor on June 3; and at Petersburg on the 4th of July. None of his injuries are specified on the HDS database, but we do know he was promoted to the rank of captain in March 1865 and to major after Appomattox before mustering out on July 13, 1865.
