It was made up of men over the enlistment age which at that time was 45. Some were as old as 80 years. Its nickname was "The Greybeard Regiment". Its purpose was to guard prisons and arsenals in order to free young men for active service. The regiment guarded the Pacific Railroadfrom St Louis to Jefferson City, Mo. May-Jul 1863. Moved to Alton & Rock Island Ill. to guard miltary prisons until Jan 1864. Then to Memphis, Tn Jun 1864. On Aug 31 1864 the notorious Confederate troops of Forest launched a suprise attact on the city of Memphis. The 8th Iowa who had provost duty at Memphis required the help the Greybeards in repulsing the strong attact. The 37th then guarded military prisons at Cincinnati, Columbus and Gallipolis, Oh until muster out. (Information from "The Union Army" Vol 4 published in 1908.)
