"...With the regimental strength about 1/3rd of what it should be, new men were needed to bring it to a working level. So on May 23, 1863, the 19th Ark.
was consolidated with that portion of the 24th Arkansas that had also been captured at Arkansas Post. These men had come through the same prison
experiences along with the 19th, suffering similar losses. This consolidation was to endure until November, at which time the 24th was then pulled and attached to another regiment. In addition, remnants of Crawford's Battalion coming through captivity with similar losses, was merged into the 19th."

"...The Brigade was pulled from the line and moved to a reserve point three miles behind Liddell's Brigade on Nov. 13, 1864. Two days later, a reorganization of the brigade took place, some of the regiments were consolidated and various companies combined. The 24th Ark. was removed from its attachment to the 19th and combined the 2nd and 15th Arkansas. The 8th Arkansas was then united with the 19th, to form the 8th - 19th Arkansas, which organization was to remain in place until the middle of April, 1865. However, it appears that these two units maintained separate unit structures inside the newly reorganized regiment, as apparently the 24th had done. When the 24th Regiment was withdrawn, 2nd Lt. W. J. Kinard and Capt. A. J. Radar, both wounded at Chickamauga, along with enlisted men J. D. and H. George (D), orginally from the 24th, went with it. Two other men, A. J. Cooley (D), on Oct. 31, 1863, and F. E. Ralls (D), on Feb. 1, 1964, transferred to the 24th and 8th Regt's. respectively. The ten companies of the 19th were then reorganized by combining them into five as follows:
Company A merged with B. Company C merged with H.
Company D merged with K. Company E merged with F.
Company I merged with G."
