I suppose the colorbearer could be most any rank. My Great Grandfather is listed as colorbearer of Laird's Gulf Rangers, Alabama Volunteers (prior to forming with/into the 1st Alabama, Tennessee, Mississippi regiment) with the rank of Private. This was early in the war-September 1861. He is still listed as a Private when he died at Camp Randall. I had assumed that he was still a colorbearer in the 1st Ala, Tenn, Miss from Company D, but now I'm not so certain???
