Michael:

We don't have any other information about the flag she made other than that she made it, had it delivered to the 43rd MS "in the field," and that Col. Richard Harrison wrote her a very lovely letter in appreciation. She put the Latin motto (roughly translated) "Not for ourselves alone, but for friends and country" on the flag. No other description of the flag exists (that we are aware of). Thanks for your interest in the 43rd MS, which was a long-serving and most excellent regiment!
