His regiment was detailed as a pontoon corps after the fall of Atlanta, and Captain Whting supervised the construction of bridges along the route of Sherman's army by way of Savannah, Georgia, from Atlanta to Washington, D.C., where he participated in the grand review of the Union army. Mr. Whiting entered the service as a private and was made First Sargeant, and was in turn commissioned Second Lieutenant, First Lieutenant, Adjutant of the regiment and Captain of Compan A, the promotions being well merited by reason of his gallant conduct and bravery on the field of battle.
