Sadly we have little information about these battle flags. We also don't know how extensive their distribution actually was either. So far the only existing flags have connection only to Walker's Texas Division. We have not yet found anything as to how wide their dispersal was or what other units got them. Robert Maberry's book on Texas flags tells us the date of those for Walker's Division and that they were made in Cuba and imported into Texas via blockade runner. Both of these flags are square.

There is a rectangular flag for a Louisiana cavalry regiment that also survives that also has a blue field and red cross.

There also seems to have been a second battle flag for the Trans-Mississippi Department - this one also has a blue field with a red St. George's cross. At least two of those flags still exist, one taken at Helena in July, 1863. The other is in the Arkansas Old Capitol Museum and is also an Arkansas regiment.
