The company was mustered in on August 18th and the regiment on September 9th, both at Camp Franklin, Dubuque. On September 16th from the levy at the foot of Jones Street, they boarded the sidewheel steamer Henry Clay and two barges tied alongside. After one night on Rock Island they continued south, debarked due to low water at Montrose, traveled by train to Keokuk, boarded the Hawkeye State, and continued south. They debarked at St. Louis on September 20th and walked to Benton Barracks while Albert Jones was admitted to a general hospital. On the 21st, the regiment left by train and the next morning arrived in Rolla but Albert was still in the hospital. Military records are then conflicting with one saying he was present with the regiment at Salem on October 31st and another that he was not released from the St. Louis hospital until November 10th. On December 12, 1862, company captain William Crooke signed a Certificate of Disability for Discharge. On the 28th Dr. Barnes signed the Certificate and Albert was discharged due to a pre-existing "chronic opthalmac" condition "having been under treatment for the last two months without any benefit & now being unable to see so as to help himself & will most likely become permanently blind."
