Acknowledging that not all of Picketts Division at Gettysburg were making use of their newly issued 3rd Bunting flags with the white painted unit ID's, which I refer to as the Pickett style marked flags since his Division was the only ones Im aware of that recieved this specific style of markings. Several units still using earlier issued flags that may have been lost at Gettysburg, then thereafter made use of the Pickett Style... Most of which were later lost at Five Forks or Saylors Creek.. etc..

Current pondering question is referenced to the 11th Va of Kempers Brigade and their respective 3rd Bunting/Pickett flag. Reportedly they were one of three units amongst Picketts three brigades present that did not lose their flag at Gettysburg... However like the rest of the regiments in the Division did lose theirs at Five Forks... But this flag lost at Five Forks (WD-322) appears to be a 3rd bunting but is unmarked, (same as most of the regiments replacements that they recieved post-Gettysburg) not the expected Pickett style marked like the others that had been saved from fate at G'burg... So what became of their issued Pickett Style unit marked flag?... lost at Gettysburg?... retired and sent home?.. destroyed?
