Re: Botetourt Virginia Light Artillery Flag

Greg,

I appreciate all the help. I have spoken with Jeff Weaver, who has spent countless hours researching Virginia units from The Valley, and he says that the Botetourt Artillery probably had a 3rd Issue Battle flag since the 4th Issue came into being in the Spring of 1864. He does not rule out the idea that they may have gotten a 4th Issue flag but says that since the battery arrived back in Virginia in the Fall of 1863, they may have gotten a replacement flag at that time and it would have been a 3rd Issue.
