Re: My bad meant the 2nd Rhode Island...

The 2nd Rhode Island was the very first regiment to be engaged. It could be the 2nd Rhode Island. Maybe they lost a flank marker. It was a very confusing day with many different flags and people wearing the same clothes.

The 1st Michigan lost 1 flag, I saw that on the Michigan flag website. They had a picture of the flag that was captured. It was dark blue and looked like their regimental flag.

General Evan's OR report was that Wheat's Battalion had captured a "stand of colors".

Have a good day,

Shawn
