The 60th Regiment Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry was organized in the summer of 1864 for 100 days service in Readville, Massachusetts. Some of the companies had previous existence and experience while others were new recruits. Company H, one of the last companies to be mustered into service on July 23, 1864, was commanded by Captain Stephen D. Gardiner of Boston. The regiment was stationed at Camp Carrington before being moved to Burnside Barracks to furnish guards for a stockade containing 5,000 Confederate prisoners of war, where they remained for the entire term of service. The regiment was mustered out of service on November 30th, 1864.
