27th LA flag not captured

While digging around for the captured Union flags at Vicksburg, I came across the 27th Louisiana Infantry regiment. The Color-Bearer hid the flag and wrapped it around his body under his uniform, the flag was not captured. "Regimental"

If that link should not work, "Twenty-seventh Louisiana Volunteer Infantry" By Terry G. Scriber

I just found that on "Google Books".

Hope that helps somebody!
