   The 11TH MILITARY DISTRICT OF OHIO, headquartered in Cleveland, was one of 11 recruiting districts established throughout the state by proclamation of Governor David Tod on 8 July 1862. The districts were established to coordinate the recruitment of CIVIL WAR soldiers. Twenty-two regiments, totaling over 30,000 men, were to be created in the state. Each district had to recruit only from within its boundaries. The 11th District included Cuyahoga, Lorain, Medina, Mahoning, Trumbull, Geauga, Lake, and Ashtabula counties. Of the 4 regiments raised in the district, two, the 103D OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY and the 124TH VOLUNTEER INFANTRY, consisted largely of Clevelanders and were trained at Camp Cleveland (see CIVIL WAR CAMPS).

   The 128TH OHIO VOLUNTEER INFANTRY REGIMENT served as the guard unit at the prison for captured Confederate soldiers at Johnson's Island during the CIVIL WAR. The first 4 units of the regiment--companies A, B, C, and D--were organized in Dec. 1861 and early 1862 and were known as Hoffman's Battalion in honor of Lt. Col. William Hoffman, commissary general of prisoners, who established the island prison. These units guarded about 3,000 prisoners in the winter of 1863-64 and foiled a plot to free the prisoners in Nov. 1863. Hoffman's Battalion was transferred to the 128th on 5 Jan. 1864, joining 6 new companies (E, F, G, H, I, and K), recruited and mustered into service at Camp Cleveland (See CIVIL WAR CAMPS IN CLEVELAND) in Dec. 1863 and Jan. 1864. In all, 291 Cleveland men served in the 128th, including Lt. Col. Edward A. Scovill, Lt. Col. Thomas H. Linnell, and Maj. JULIUS R. SANFORD. The unit was commanded by Col. Charles W. Hill. Although its main duty was guarding the prison, the 128th frequently provided detachments to serve elsewhere, such as for a short campaign against Rebel troops in West Virginia. The regiment was mustered out on 13 July 1865. In 1866 veterans of the unit joined with other veterans to form the 7th and 128th Regiments OVI to preserve monuments and memories of Civil War service and to hold annual reunions. The association had about 200 members in 1921.

   The 135TH ARTILLERY was a local Ohio National Guard (ONG) unit which traced its lineage to the 1ST OHIO VOLUNTEER LIGHT ARTILLERY (OVLA). After Mexican border duty (1916-17), the 1st Battalion, OVLA was redesignated the 1st Field Artillery (FA) ONG (May 1917) and then the 134th FAONG (Sept. 1917). The 134th FA served in France during WORLD WAR I, returned to the U.S. (1919) and reverted to the designation 1st FAONG (1920). The 1st FAONG was redesignated the 134th FA and further redesignated the 135th FA and activated (Oct. 1940) for maneuvers at Camp Shelby, MS. Redesignated 1st Battalion, 135th FA, 37th Div., ONG, the unit served in the Pacific Theater of WORLD WAR II in the Solomon Islands and on Luzon in the Philippines (1942-45) until demobilized at Camp Anza, CA. (1945). The unit was federally recognized as the 135th FA Battalion, 37 Div., ONG in the Cleveland area (1946-52). During the KOREAN WAR, the unit was activated (Jan. 1952) for training maneuvers at Ft. Polk, LA, but was never shipped overseas and was deactivated (June 1954). The 135th FA Battalion HQ was located in Cleveland (1954-59) until redesignated the 1st and 2d Howitzer Battalions, 37th Infantry Div., ONG, and withdrawn from Cleveland. The Howitzer Battalions were redesignated 1st Battalion, 135th Artillery, 37th Div., ONG elsewhere in Ohio until being deactivated and completely phased out (15 Feb. 1968). Tracing its lineage back to the CLEVELAND LIGHT ARTILLERY, the 135th Artillery earned 17 battle streamers (1861-1918) and a Presidential Unit Decoration from the Philippine government for the Luzon Campaign during World War II.
