Old Battle-Scarred Flag of Louisiana Tigers Comes Home
New Orleans, May 13. — (By AP)
Home after more than sixty years, bullet-riddled and pierced by cannon, the Civil War standard of the Louisiana “Tigers”, the Tenth Regiment, will be reverently placed today with other relics of that great conflict in Confederate Memorial Hall here.

Last night four old men in gray, headed by Captain James Dinkins, received four old men in blue with extended hands. A ragged flag, its stars and bars faded but with Southern valor imperishably engraved upon it, was proudly surrendered. The battle flag of the Tigers had come home.

After sixty years in strange hands, an old battle flag of the Tenth Louisiana regiment, captured at Cold Harbor by the Eleventh Connecticut regiment in 1864, has been returned by its captors to New Orleans and placed in Memorial Hall. Capt. James Dinkins, youngest Confederate officer of that rank, is shown receiving the tattered banner from Commander Ira R. Wildman of Connecticut.
