"The First Kentucky Volunteer Infantry was mustered into service between June 1 and June, 1898 at Lexington, Kentucky. The unit originally consisted of 48 officers and 1,251 enlisted men. On August 3, 1898, the regiment left the United States to join in the invasion of Puerto Rico, then already underway. The First Kentucky arrived in Puerto Rico on August 10, 1898. The fighting ended on August 12 by an armistice, too soon for the unit to find itself in action. The unit remained in Puerto Rico until December 5, 1898 as part of the island's occupation forces. While the regiment was enroute back to the United States, the Treaty of Paris was signed officially ending the war on December 10. The regiment landed in the U.S. two days later. The regiment remained in service until February 24, 1899, when it was mustered out at Louisville, Kentucky."
