list of all the people recorded as "belgians" in the Regulars (by date of enlistment from 1830 to the end of the Civil war)

An alphabetical list is available at the end of this page

The following data is extracted from the "Descriptive and Historical Register of Enlisted Soldiers of the Army" used in Washington to track all of the soldiers enlisted in the regular army by date and then alphabetically. Those registers are now accessible in the Ancestry web site. By chance for us, allong numerous information, is the "Place of birth". The other information are the Name, City of Birth, enlistment date and place, presiding officer, hair color, eye color, complexion, height, regiment and company, and date and place of discharge, desertion or death with sometime other comments.

I transcribed here and checked the entries for the men born "Belgium" and enlisted between 1830 and 1859 and extracted the pertinent information. To say: Name, age, city of birth when précised, civil occupation, date and place of enlistment, the Unit(s) were they served and all the information concerning their separation from the army. And to better understand their conditions of life in the Army I added information concerning their pay and recruitment and included parts of their Units histories, when found and when pertinent, and also added information as to their army life. Some enlisted before 1830, but they here not listed here.

Recruiting for the US Army has always been difficult and keeping them in the service even more difficult. You'll see here a lot of "deserters" but it was a common way and maybe the only one to get out of the service before their term of 5 years. Between 1823 and 1830 the rate of desertion was estimated at 42 %. In the Army General Report of 1826, it is stated that " a majority of private soldiers...scarcely regard... desertion as an act of turpitude. In 1833, the problem was so acute than some measures were taken:
- the private's pay was raised to $6 per month but $1 a month was withed for two years and only paid after that time
- the army term, usually 5 years, was shortened to 3 years.

In an army of 12 500 men only 2 Belgians enlisted under those conditions. The first was sent in Florida to fight in the Seminole or Florida War. The historian of the 4th Infantry state: "The region in which the troops were compelled to operate consisted of swamps, overflowed thickets, and dense tropical forests of unknown extent. Poisonous insects and serpents under foot and an atmosphere reeking with fevers and disease overhead... For days at a time the troops waded in the swamps or patrolled the streams in search of an enemy who only showed himself when in sufficient numbers to massacre isolated detachments... the Fourth Infantry bore an honorable part. It participated in nearly all of the engagements and lost severely in killed and wounded, and, what in that region was worse, in missing, the totals for the regiment being: Officers killed in action or died of disease, 6; men killed in action or died of disease, 128". The second spent those years on the Canadian border.

In 1838 the strength of the army was reduced to 8 500 men. This was done by reducing the strength of each company from 100 to 64 men instead of eliminating Units. The traditional 5 year enlistment was restored and the pay increased to $ 7 but $1 was withheld each month till the end of the enlistment. None of those measures changed anything in the soldier’s behavior and the still low pay was not very attractive. And still very few Belgian emigrants enlisted.

The war with Mexico (April 24, 1846, to May 30, 1848) brought more change in the army. In May 1846 it was increased by 10 000 to reach a potential of almost 18 000 men but at the end of the year the number of enlisted men was far from attaining that limit. 7 000 soldiers were still missing. Few people were eager to enlist as by that time: too many men had heard of the disease, death or drudgery that awaited them in Mexico.

Note : Frederick Donates and Charles Cools were maybe the victims of diarrhea : "Diarrhea "in its most fatal and destructive form" struck Scott's men when they reached Puebla. In one regiment men were soon dying at the rate of two a day. Over 1,000 there were on sick report as of 4 June 1847. Surgeons blamed the disease rate on bad food, the change in diet, poor cooking, the weather, and the weakened condition of the men. When the army left Puebla during the second week in August, 2,000 men who were sick or convalescent stayed behind".

The solution to the problem of recruitment came from the "Ten Regiment Bill" voted in February 1847. The enlistment was only for the duration of the war and a soldier was assured at discharge of a land bonus of 160 acres for 12 months of service and 40 acres if he served less than one year. The regiments so formed were a regiment of Dragons, the 9th to 16th Infantry and a regiment of "Voltigeurs and foot riflemen". The strength of the companies was also raised anew from 64 to 100 men to replenish the existing Units. Some Belgians enlisted in those new regiments:

  Remarks:  Deserted 26 Sept. 1848

Mexico City surrendered 14 September 1847 and on February 1848 a peace treaty was signed at Guadalupe Hidalgo. The Mexico war increased greatly the western territories of the USA, from Texas and California to the Canadian border (treaty of 1846 with Great Britain). Nevertheless, the regiments created by the "Ten Regiment Bill" were disbanded and the army reverted to a peacetime strength of 10 000 men, the same as it was authorized in 1815. Regiments were stretched very thin and scattered in the West in small posts often garrisoned by only one company at a time. 80 % was infantry, not a very good response to the Indian tribes on the warpath, all mounted warriors.

In June 1850, the Army was expanded to 14 000 but failed to stretch much above the 10 000 mark until a second troop increase in 1855. During the 1850s twice as many immigrants enlisted as native Americans. Half of the foreigners came from Ireland and a fifth from Germany. During those years, the U.S. Army suffered an annual attrition rate of 28 % due to desertion, discharge and death from combat, accident or disease. Desertion alone emptied the ranks almost as fast as they were filled. Soldiering in the West was rarely fun. Either a tedious sort of life or demanding the last ounce of physical strength such as only an iron constitution can stand.

In August 1854, Congress allowed a substantial pay raise for te enlisted soldier. A Private salary rose from $ 7 to $ 11, a Corporal to $ 13 and a Sergeant to $ 17. In March 1855 new Regiments were crated for frontier service: the 9th and 10th infantry and the 1st and 2nd cavalry, expanding the Army from 14 000 to 18 000 men. But the desertion rate, "french leave" as it was called, remained the same. In 1856 for example, 3 223 soldiers took it from a total of 15 753 officers and men.
