33rd Massachusetts Infantry

The 33rd Massachusetts was raised from the counties of Bristol and Middlesex. It entered Federal Service at Lynnfield in the summer of 1862.

At Gettysburg, the 33rd was part of the XI Corps and had over 550 members. It was commanded by Col. Adin B. Underwood (1828-1888), a graduate of Harvard Law School and a lawyer in Newton.

The regimental monument is extremely simple. It is located at the intersection of Slocum Avenue (near Stevens Knoll) and Brickyard Lane (today Wainwright Avenue). This was the unit’s position from July 2 onwards.  The monument was dedicated on October 8, 1885.
