Harvey S. Chatfield first enlisted, August 30, 1861, as Captain, Co. K, 43 rd NYSVI and was discharged for transfer to the 78th NYSVI. He served in t he 78th until July 12, 1864, at which time he was promoted to Lieutenant-C olonel of the 102nd NYSVI, "The Van Buren Light Infantry." On June 4, 186 5, he was promoted to Colonel, and served in that rank until the regime nt was mustered out, July 21, 1865, at Alexandria, Virginia.
During his service, the regiments he was part of participated in the follo wing battles: Yorktown, Williamsburg, White Oak Swamp, Malvern Hill, Grove ton, Second Bull Run, Antietem, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, Wauhatchi e, Lookout Mountain, Resaca, Dallas, and Atlanta.

On the 12th July, 1864, the Seventy-eighth New-York was consolidated with the One Hundred and Second, and officers absent from wounds and supernumerary, ordered to be mustered out. Since the cessation of hostilities other regiments have been consolidated with it, so that they now number about 600 men. These are commanded by Col H.J. CHATFIELD, a son of Hon. LEVI S. CHATFIELD, of this city.

As the One Hundred and Second is the only regiment from this city now in service that has been with Gen. Sherman throughout his historical march, it is expected that a warm reception will be given the veteran heroes on their arrival home.
