Then they marched through Richmnd and on to Washington, participating in the grand review in that city, after which they were sent to Louisville. Later they were transported to Cincinnati, where they were paid off and honorably discharged in July 1865.
Perry lost no time through illness or in any other cause, but was always found at his post of duty, faithfully defending the old flag and the cause it represented.
