Re: flag maker for the Charleston Depot found

Greg,
Looking at the garrison flags sizes there does not seem to be much uniformity to the May 1863 flag specifications. While the 10' 1/2 x 20' garrison flag comes closest to the 1:2 ratio ordered by the May 1, 1863 law the other flags fall short of the official specs. The 6' x 9' flag does adhere to the CS Navy Department's order of May 20, 1863 of a 2:3 ratio but that was for naval ensigns. Thanks for sharing this with us.
