I forgot to add the homemade flag of that NC regiment - but they made it with cloth taken from a dry goods store in Carlisle, PA and then sewed their ANV battle flag to it. This was called the "flag with the long white tail" by the Federals. The flag is at the MOC now. There are still traces of the white cloth on the flag on two sides.

This does not, in anyway, disprove my main point that the ANV were issued Second Nationals before the campaign began. Theyw ere not.
