Thanks for the information about the flag being on the list, which I did not know about. That would indeed presume that enough of the battalion survived to save their colors.

I indeed did not say that you said that the flag was not in the book on flags held by the Mexican museum which we both have copies of - just made mention of the fact that it was not in that book. That tells me that something was wrong with the flag when the book was done. Lost perhaps? Fallen apart? Who knows I guess.
