Accoding to obituary and family history my GreatGreat Uncle was a flag bearer in the 56th Virginia Infrantry and was wounded at Gettsburg during Picketts Charge. In my readings I've seen it mentioned that there was multiple flag bearers for the 56th Va.
Does that mean each company had it's own?? If so what flag would they have carried???

A confused memeber of CWPT???

HELP me understand the format of a company.

Thanks
Tim
