Please identify some good references that explain the structure of the Confederate Regimental color guard.
What flags did the Regimental color guard carry (the Regimental battle flag and a National Flag or a state flag)?
How many men were usually in the Regimental color guard? Was the Regimental color guard generally a Sergeant and two Corporals? (I expect this structure may have varied with the states or regiments.)
I found a record that a Regimental adjutant submitted a requisition for a “stand of colors”. What would constitute a stand of colors?
Did each company carry a guidon?
Did the structure of the color guard change later in the war?
