I don’t think “coming back to SC” is right, maybe a first visit is more like it. I believe the flag was made in Mobile as was the national the Mr. Baker picked up in Mobile.

The C&P article (picked up by AP) was a fundraiser tactic by the CHC to build a display for the Iowa flag at the Citadel and have it there for the schools anniversary.

Do you know what happened to the Citadel flag that flew over the SC Capital in 1880 or 1889, on the return of SC Troops from R.I.?

Happy Trails!
