Geoff,

Great call. I get very frustrated with reenactors in that they bend over backwards to have Columbus Depot Type II jackets when they portray Army of Tennessee units and then carry flags that are either made up or just not accurate to the battle being portrayed. Very few events have good standards along the lines of proper flags although I have consulted with a few. At Shiloh events it is common to see ANV flags which were never there in 1862!

This board has always been a great place to ask questions about what flags to use at certain events and will hopefully remain so. There's also lots of flag books out now that were not out in the 70s. And there's the Flags of the Confederacy web site - www.confederate-flags.org
