The monument was erected in memory of the eighty fallen 9th Regiment soldiers who would be buried in what became the New Bern National Cemetery. The infantry served from October 1861 to July 1865 and was the first regiment to have combat casualties in the Civil War. The bulk of their time was spent fighting in North Carolina. The 9th would lose 10 officers and 244 enlisted men in the war.
