Benjamin served in the Civil War as a Private in Co. B, 6th Maine Infantry Regiment, enlisting 15 July 1861 at the age of 18. He was killed in action, 7 November 1863, at Rappahannock Station, Virginia.
The 6th Maine Infantry Regiment was made up of rough-and-ready lumbermen from the eastern part of Maine. The unit arrived in Washington, DC, 19 July 1861, but saw no action until March of 1862, when they were engaged in battles at Manassas and, in April, Yorktown, Virginia. For the rest of their time of service, the men of the 6th Maine saw "the most arduous and active service." They took part in the battles at Williamsburg, Antietam, Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville, among others. It was during the battle at Rappahannock Station that Benjamin lost his life, along with 138 of his comrades.
