Status: offline 		Modern Maryland State Flag, this wasn't used in the ACW, bust some of the heraldry was used on flags, so it is good enough for me. Officially adapted in 1904, but started to be flown around 1880 or so. Pro CSA marylanders used the red cross on white filed, and Lord Calvert's (I think it was Calvert) red and black lozenges were used by antebellum Maryland and maybe by pro Union Marylanders druing the war. wikepedia has good info. on the State flags and someone posted those Wiki links already.:

Status: offline 		The 8th Arkansas Infantry Regiment served in Cleburne's division during the Tullahoma campaign, as did the 1st Arkansas Infantry Regiment. A circle of ten stars appears in this flag, elaborated by an "A" superimposed over the central and eleventh star. Presumably, the star outside the circle represents Missouri, admitted in August, 1861 by the Provisional Congress. The flag was presented to the unit raised in Jacksonport by William Patterson in the summer of 1861. Ladies of the town distinguished the flag with gold embroidered chain stitch, "March on! March on! All hearts resolved on victory or death." This flag was most likely retired when flags in the Hardee pattern were issued to the Army of Central Kentucky in early 1862.

This regiment's battle honors place it at some of the biggest battles in the Trans-Mississippi Theater, including Wilson's Creek (which Confederates referred to as Oak Hills) and Pea Ridge (Elkhorn). The Confederate government adopted a second national flag on May 1, 1863. Although it was distinct from the Union's flag, the white field of the "Stainless Banner" could be confused with a flag of truce. Eastern units often cut off the white field, leaving only the canton with its St. Andrew's cross. The Stainless Banner was not distributed in the west except by private groups to favored units. The innovative variation here is definitely one of individual manufacture. It avoids the truce flag problem by adding two red stripes to the white field, and uses an embroidered chain stitch for the honors and designation. If, indeed, it is of the war period, it exemplifies the unique approach of western armies to the matter of their flag.

The 5th Heavy Artillery was recruited mainly in southwestern

Pennsylvania during late summer of 1864. It went to Washington, D.C.

and spent some time guarding the Manassas Gap Railroad, during which

time it had some run-ins with John Singleton Mosby's southern

troopers. In October the regiment was stationed south of the Potomac

and remained there until disbanded in June of 1865. The yellow

regimental was produced by Horstmann Brothers sometime in the fall of

1864. The standard was left in Pittsburgh when the regiment disbanded

and was given back to state care in 1866, where it has remained ever

since.

Status: offline 		USA 35th IN, 1st Irish, Inf. Regt. I believe these fellows wore a green kepi, the only unit to do so in the ACW, and only one known example of this sharp looking kepi survives. However, it may have been another Indiana or Illinois Regt. with the Green Kepi and there is a website that shows this lone known surviving kepi, but I do believe the Green Kepi belonged to the 35th Indiana:

I only have a few B&W photos from the 2 times we were at Gettysburg and Antietam, 1967 to 1969 period. No flag photos. Not many photos period since our home was torched by arsonist-thieves in 1989 and half of our small block bunt down.

Post some more pics if you have them!!

Status: offline 		I went to your Mad Cow Steakhouse. Great name. Interesting military conversations there, especially about USA vs. German atmor in WWII. Most people don't realize that the type of round has a lot to do with armor penetration, and thet the Sherman was one heck of good and reliable tank, and equal to taking on any opposition when it first came out and later with upgrades.

A past friend of mine was tanker in Easy Eights with the 245th Tank Bn. of the 45th ID in Korea, and the Sherman could go places that the M46/47 Pattons couldn't, and it was more than a match for the T-34/85.

take care in the restaurant there, Chris
