I would also be interested in knowing what sources were involved in your research. :cool:
Unlikely there were many Confederate companies still wearing early war garb such as that by Summer '62, anyway. Pretty much everyone was depot or commutation.
Hey! Both of the Irish colors are still in-game. At this time, the national/regimental (or sometimes company) colors are spawning randomly.
There was a Corporal Patrick Moynihan with the 6th/8th Missouri Infantry (Union).
No offense to the guy who is a good flag bearer, but I don't know how you can propose a community Hall of Fame without General Cody being the obvious first nomination.

It was made...
Hey Elderly,
A number of companies carried non-depot issued flags in the Maryland Campaign of 1862, which is the setting of War of Rights. To name a few non-standards you would have seen at...
Judging by the shadows in the painting, I'm thinking it might be later in the day. Maybe 2nd Maryland?

Do you have a citation for this excerpt?
Absolutely. One reason why researching campaign specific flags is so difficult is that regimental histories and after action reports frequently neglect to mention the loss of colors. I think this is...
According to the PA Archives (where the images above originate),
The 42nd PA lost the National colors at Gaines Mill in June 1862. According to History of the Bucktails, they did not receive a...

My Masters thesis involves Vicksburg and so I will forever vote for the Vicksburg Campaign. Western theatre, new landscape, new regiments, new flags. The Battle of Champion Hill was more of a...
