There is no documentation on the flag at the battlefield, none at all. They have no clue when they recieved it. I do not have a scanner the photo is also published in "Custer in Photographs" which has every known pic of Custer. The flag is dev a white yellow regimental the article published in the LBH Associated Journal went into great detail buy a back copy they are available. Im done debating. I leave with this last post by the current Historian at LBH Battlefield. The flag was still around in 1921. Look at the photo and its a regimental yellow. Custer HQ flag personal flag was the same type he carried in the Civil War it was the 4th personal flag he had, crossed sabers and Libbie stiched at the bottom made by his wife. Did you know that he had 4 personal flags? "I just came across more substantiation that Custer carried a Yellow Regimental Standard into battle at LBH. This comes from a 1st hand source: From Pvt. August Seifert, Co. K:

"Sgt. Robert Hughes, who was killed with Custer, carried the Regimental flag. It was Yellow flag with an eagle."

from 'Custer and Company: Walter Camp's Notes on the Custer Fight." I like many others in the group had a direct ancestor KIA at LBH. Over 100 books and 35 years studying the battle Im content with the yellow Regimental. Artist Paxton was who spent 20 years on his painting and interviewed 100 vets of the Battle red and white, painted a yellow regimental not blue. But forget that cause vets have bad memories if you listen to whats posted here.
" Yellow flag of Custers in Raymond Hillyer article

I'm trying to contact Raymond Hillyer on his article on "Which They had Captured All" in last year's Research REview. There is some new evidence I want to share with him. If anyone has his address or email or phone, let me know. The captured yellow flag was at Crow Agency in 1921 and it is not a regimental standard but another headquarters flag used by Custer.

We beat the flag and Custer's revolvers dead on the LBH site no sense in doing it here.
