Re: Louisiana Tiger Battle Flag

Thanks. A word of caution, Louisiana Tigers, orignially meant primarily members of the 1st Louisiana Brigade, of the ANV. Over time it was expanded to include any soldier from Louisiana in the ANV. Sometimes one will also find reference to a 'Louisiana Tiger' and he was in the Army of Tennessee. I saw a gravestone of a soldier in Tennessee, with Louisiana Tiger on it, even tho the regiment he was in was from the AOT (22nd, IF I remember correctly). I have not seen or read about every flag carried by the Louisiana regiments of the 1st La Brigade in the ANV, but those I have seen or read about were 'traditional' ANV battleflags. As noted in another post, this might be a post-war UCV flag.
