The Georgia 25th Infantry Regiment was organized at Savannah, Georgia, in September, 1861. The men were raised in the counties of Bryan, Screven, Liberty, Telfair, Henry, and Calhoun. Assigned to the Department of South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida, the unit served on the coast until the summer of 1863 when it was ordered to Mississippi. After serving at Jackson it was attached to Wilson's, C.H.Stevens', H.R. Jackson's, and in 1865, Henderson's Brigade. The regiment was consolidated for a time with the 1st Georgia Battalion Sharpshooters and in December, 1863, the 25th/1st Battalion totalled341 men and 151 arms. It fought with the Army of Tennessee from Chickamauga to Atlanta , moved with Hood into Tennessee, and saw action at Bentonville . The unit was greatly reduced when it surrendered on April 26, 1865.
