Re: Flag Capture
In Response To: Re: Flag Capture ()

Found this about capture of other La Flags at Spotsylvania, resulting in a CMOH being awarded:

FASNACHT, CHARLES H. - Rank and organization: Sergeant, Company A, 99th Pennsylvania Infantry. Place and date: At Spotsylvania, Va., 12 May 1864. Entered service at: ------. Birth: Lancaster County, Pa. Date of issue: 2 April 1878. Citation: Capture of flag of 2nd Louisiana Tigers (C.S.A.) in a hand-to-hand contest.

Perhaps this was a correction to the one previous? Or a possible joint capture by both soldiers?
