I do not believe that Mr. Krauss is the current owner of this flag [guidion]. I will have to double check the name of the owner, I don't have that info with me. I do know that this flag had recently changed hands [in Gettysburg].

I have to ask, that if this flag has been well known, why has it not been included in any publication (that I know of) either showing Alabama flags and guidions, or listing the whereabouts of Alabama flags and guidions. When Jim Huffman asked on this board for information on Alabama unit flags not located in the ADAH, why didn't anyone respond about this flag? What other Alabama flags are "well known" in flag buff circles, but not disclosed to the general populace interested in the whereabouts of such things? Just makes me wonder out loud.

[By the way, is there a difference in a guidion and a guidon and a guide flag? Or is it just a choice of spelling/terminology?]
