The 43rd Mississippi received a flag presented by Helen Conzett according to the Mobile (AL) Evening News of August 15, 1864. There is no description of the flag in either the presentation speech or the acceptance speech of Col. Richard Harrison sadly. As of 1921 the flag was in the hands of the son of Col. Richardson and must be out there somewhere if Howard Madaus saw it, measured it and drew a scale drawing of it.
