Thank you everyone, on my questions on this topic, thank you Gregg on that huge amount of information. Let us press on and discover many of the missing flags, we will eventually find them! It is frustrating, but that is the "Fun" of it.

Once we are done with the "Union Captured Flags." "Union Captured Artillery" and "Union Cavalry Captured Flags/Guidons." We will switch sides and work on "Captured Confederate Artillery" and "Captured Confederate Cavalry Flags/Guidons." All subjects from the first day of the war to the last. To be honest with everyone on this amazing and outstanding website, I feel that I am just drawing up the blueprints for my oldest son to finish in the future. Robert is Seventeen years old, but he has a huge advantage, he knows the LOC/NA inside and out. My father and family were never into the Civil War, nor were we ever stationed in the Washington DC area. As I told Robert, that he has a huge hole in history to fill in and that I can only provided him with the tools.

Our goal, is to find One-Thousand Captured Union Flags (Infantry). There are hundreds and hundreds more out there and that could/would be for a Second Edition. The Union Captured Artillery, seems easy, as the Union battery commanders admitted if they lost their battery, sections, section and even one single piece. But the hard part is what type of caliber pieces did they lose. Confederate infantry wrote how many pieces they captured but it was a Fifty/Fifty chance they wrote the types of caliber they captured. Typical "Field Artillery" was a Six Pound Field Gun (Several types, mostly Bronze), Twelve Pound Mountain Howitzer, Twelve Pound Howitzer, Twenty-Four Pound Howitzer, Twelve Pound Napoleon, Three-Inch Rifle, Ten Pound Parrot, Twenty Pound Parrot and many more. As you can imagine that is the "Fun" part.

I am working on the battle of Chickamauga, which O.R 30, Part 2, Page 40 covers. That would be very easy to use that as a source and move to the next battle. But I always have to make it difficult and more accurate then previous literature.

The good news is winter operations have been cancelled, so this gives me more time to on what I enjoy.

Have a good day, everyone
