flag confusion

From ADAH:
In his report dated April 25, 1865, Colonel O. H. LaGrange referred to it as the flag of Clanton’s Brigade and described it as being made of “blue silk with inscriptions.”

That doesn't describe this off white flag very well!

I doubt anyone intentionally switched it, its just another of the many cases of confused flags (confused when assigned numbers, usually). ADAH has documented several cases of this already.

So, yes, I do think that the blue flag is still "somewhere".
