I came across this reference in the OR re a 10th Louisiana Infantry Color Bearer

O.R.-- SERIES I--VOLUME XXIX/1 [S# 48], p. 874
NOVEMBER 26-DECEMBER 2, 1863.--The Mine Run (Virginia) Campaign
No. 131. --Report of Lieut. Col. Henry D. Monier, Tenth Louisiana Infantry.

.. . In justice to my regiment, I will say that both officers and soldiers behaved with gallantry. It is useless to describe the conduct of every one. I will only state that Color-Bearer J. Boykin, of Company E. was conspicuous for his coolness and bravery, bearing his colors within 40 or 50 yards of the enemy's line.
The loss of the Tenth Louisiana Regiment in the engagement is: Killed, 6; wounded, 20.(*)
The ambulance corps of the regiment deserve much credit for their exertions in bringing out our wounded from the field.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
HY. D. MONIER,
Lieut. Col., Comdg. Tenth Louisiana Infantry.
