Hartsville - Captured Flag -Comments

"The Battle of Hartsville" - The Rebel Banner 11 December 1862

"To John Blazer, of Company C, Ninth Kentucky regiment, belongs the honor of capturing the battery flag of the enemy. It is a beautiful piece of silk bunting, with the letter B upon it."

The only Union artillery at Hartsville was a section of guns belonging to the 13th Battery, Indiana Light Artillery.
Possibly cavalry as the 2nd Indiana Cavalry was engaged at Hartsville and its camp captured.

Comments and information appreciated.

Best Regards and God's Blessings,
