From the September 15, 2021 Laurel Hill Cemetery Blog "A Philadelphia Regiment's September baptism of fire" by Russell Dodge.
They have a copy of a poster calling for men to sign up for Company K of the regiment:
*****************************
"$162 BOUNTY
STEADY, ABLE-BODIED MEN WANTED
FOR CO. K.,
CORN EXCHANGE REGIMENT,
At 241 Race Street.
First Lieut. W.M. McKeen
Second Lieut. J. Mora Moss
Captain JOS. W. RICKETTS"
*****************************
These officers were all killed or wounded at the Battle of Shepherdstown.
Then it went into the financial benefits of joining which I will cover in my next post.
