    Original 6th Louisiana Flag

    The 6th Louisiana infantry was organized on May 23, 1861 at Camp Moore Louisiana. The regiment provided 10 companies 7 from New Orleans 3 from surrounding parishes. The 6th Louisiana was the most thoroughly Irish regiment to come from New Orleans. Out of the 980 known listed birthplaces at least 468 men were born in Ireland. Another 100 were sons of Irish immigrants. In addition there was 123 born in Germany and 73 from other countries. The "Orleans Rifles" were mustered in as Company H. Their flag would become the regimental flag.

    The 6th Louisiana was assigned to the 1st Louisiana Brigade which was part of General Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson's Corp. Serving in every major engagement of the Army of Northern Virginia. Only 4 officers and 48 men were present at Appomattox. The only account of the regiments History was wrote by Major William H. Manning while in the trenches of Petersburg, Virginia on the March 13th, 1865.
    Developers could you please add this to the game ?
    If needed I can get in contact with Confederate Memorial Hall Museum out of New Orleans, LA and acquire high definition photos of the flag.

    I support the implementation of this flag 100%! It would be majorly appreciated by the Battalion as a whole if the Devs where to consider making this flag an in game reality. Speical Thank you to Captain Vito for putting in the due diligence to make this a possibility for us.

    Here is the 14th LA's battle flag it would have been the same as the 6th LA's flag this is what your talking about.
