Re: PART II: 1864 was the presentation!

Ben,

We have no clue as to the use of the flag that Storrs had. Certainly by this stage of the war silk flags tended to be more for ceremonial use - and even some wool bunting Second Nationals from Mobile presented to Gibson's LA Brigade probably never saw combat at all - but we have no clue as to the use of the Storrs flag. It MAY have been there and it may have not been there.

Lacking any period reports we just do not know. There were some silk flags taken late in the war.
