215 (82%) of the men would become casualties, however the attack would succeed in blunting the Confederate assault and saving the Union line. Every field officer in the 1st Minnesota was either killed, wounded, or missing.

During the final battle of the Expedition of the Thousand (part of the Italian Unification wars), near the Volturno River, Bronzetti’s 300 men strong battalion managed to halt an entire Neapolitan brigade, who outnumbered them almost by 10 to 1, for six hours.

When the redshirts ran out of ammo, they retreated at the summit of a hill, taking refuge in an ancient castle, and then either Bronzetti tried to surrender but was shot in the chaos, or he refused to surrender (it varies depending on the sources), either way the battalion launched one last bayonet charge and was completely destroyed, Bronzetti died in the action, but with his resistance he managed to halt a brigade, who would have otherwise outflanked the entire left side of their army. Many historian agree that this was one of the main reasons why Giuseppe Garibaldi’s army managed to win this decisive battle against Naples.
