Why would most units not follow the prescribed standards set out? Is it that they felt the cavalry and artillery sizes were not sufficient during the din of battle to be readily identified when required? Why have standardization at all? Given the war measures to conserve materials it would have made sense to abide by the prescribed dimension set out, yet the infantry size flag was used for all branches.

Question: were there any 24x24 cavlary flags ever generated. I can only think from memory that the 1 NC Cav. had a 24-26x24-26 ANV with 6 pointed stars, not depot but variant. Do you know of any examples that were to the gov. specs and depot made if any?

thanks
