Henry Custer was eighteen years of age when he enlisted, on August 14, 1862, in Company A, 29th Regiment Iowa Volunteer Infantry. He enlisted for three years, but on account of disability, he only served ten months.
Before his regiment was made up, he was with Companies A, B, and C of the 29th Iowa, fighting the Indians in the western part of Iowa. With his regiment, he marched through Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas, and Texas, to the Gulf of Mexico. He was in the battle of Columbus, Kentucky, which lasted two days and in February 1863, he was in the sharp engagement at Helena, Arkansas. Then he fell a victim to the measles and was finally discharged from the service on account of ill health.
