Officially designated as the 25th Bn, Virginia Vols., this command was more familiarly known as the Richmond City Battalion. It was organized August 15, 1862, for the period of six months, and for service in and around Richmond. When first organized, the battalion consisted of five companies, A to E. Companies F, G and H were added later. Co I is believed to have been organized in the field and not recognized by the A&IGO. Another company was authorized to be raised but failed to complete organization. In January and February 1863, battalion was "re-mustered for the war", its original six months term having expired.
Co A = Capt John H. Greener's Co; enlisted July 1, 1861, for 6 months; reenlisted January 1, 1863, for the war, and remustered January 20, 1863. Some members of this company had prior service in the 1st Regt Va Inf and in September, 1862, some were transferred to the Maryland Line.
