Niles, Company D. 41st Virginia. Recaptured in Richmond, April 3rd, 1865. Another Source: "Battles and Leaders of the Civil War" by Robert Underwood, Clarence Slough Buel, Century Company, Page 565.

The Library of Congress has the following USCT Regimental Histories: Infantry--1-2-4-5-6-7-9-14-19-20-29-30-33-59 and 104th. I have a mark over the 19th USCT so I am guessing they lost a flag. Because I have the same mark over the 29th and 30th USCT.
There are plenty of Union flags captured at the Crater, that I still do not know what Union regiments they belonged to. I will continue the search, I have been up all night and morning so far. Time to take a nap and get ready for the Super Bowl!
Enjoy the Super Bowl everyone!
