Greg,
I'd be willing to pay you for a copy of that photo. That is the flag that my G-g-grandfather (Pvt. Green Brown) was mortally wounded under during the Bermuda Hundred campaign. I believe he was wounded at either Drewry's Bluff or during Sheridan's raid on Richmond. His service record indicates that he died from a fever caused by wounds recieved on the battle field on May 24, 1864. He has a kind of unusual history. He signed up in March of 1862 in the 15th Alabama, Co. E. He was discharged in August of '62 for Phithisis Pulmanalis (Tuberculosis). He re-enlisted in Feb. 1864 in the 60th Alabama and his service ended as described above.
Apologies to Matthew, not really trying to hijack your thread, Greg just gave me some info I've been searching out for several years now.
Charles
