Guys,
None of the "known" Colorbearers/Guards
of the 26th Ala. were casualties of any kind
at Gettysburg.
What became of this flag that the 88th Penn.
claimed to have captured?
While not unusual, none of the survivors of the
26th Ala. admit to the loss of their flag at G'burg.
Could the 88th Penn. Have misidentified the flag
they apparently found on the field? If the flag
were unmarked, how would they know to which
CS unit it belonged?
Just food for thought.
