Sterling Combs Eve enlisted on the 18th March 1861. He was promoted to Full Asst. Surgeon on 21 September 1861. He served in D Co. 1st Volunteers Reg. GA

Organized at Macon in the spring of 1861, the Georgia Regulars included men from Atlanta and Brunswick, as well as Glynn and Montgomery counties. Sent to Virginia, the regiment fought in most of the major battles of 1862, before being sent back to its home state to recruit due to its losses of men to wounds and disease. Stationed along the Apalachicola River in Florida during 1863, the regiment suffered heavily from disease and sickness, with a corresponding lowering of morale and effectiveness. "This [location] was useless from a military point of view, and our ranks were more decimated by malaria than if we had been in many battles", recalled John Porter Fort, a member of Company B. Sent to reinforce Finegan shortly before the battle, at Olustee the Regulars probably numbered fewer than 200 muskets. Captain Henry A. Cannon led the unit at Olustee, where it served on the Confederate left. The unit suffered losses of three men killed and twenty-five wounded. A detachment from Abel's Artillery served with the Regulars at Olustee and suffered several casualties. Later in 1864 the regiment served at Charleston and Savannah. It surrendered in North Carolina in 1865.
