Re: 36th ala. vol.
The original flag was captured at Missionary Ridge by the 88th Indiana Regiment. They served in the 1st Brigade (Beatty), 2nd Division (Negley), XIV Corps (Thomas).
From the OR's, Report by Col. Cyrus E. Briant......"Moved with the brigade to the foot of Missionary Ridge until 4PM on the 25th when the regiment moved forward in a grand charge made on the enemy's strong works on the ridge. The regiment taking 24 prisoners and one battle flag supposed of the 36th Alabama Regiment which was very badly torn up"
