Yep 21st & 25th Va served in same Brigade in Jacksons Corp (Jones Brigade). Seems the flag requisition from Staunton was to fill a void of units that might not have had a flag at the time, rather than across the board issue. They served together, one got a new wool/cotton, the other that was known to still have a FN didnt. Those that had current possession of a silk flag didnt either.

On Culps Hill at G'burg the 25th lost theirs as well as the 21st, believed to be another FN, that replaced the inital Regimental FN lost at Chancellorsville. The second FN I think may have been an earlier company level flag, brought back out for use of the Regiment to replace the loss.

Dont have my files available at present, but if memory serves correctly after G'burg, the 25th lost another when they were overun by Hancocks 2nd Corp at the Mule Shoe at Spotsylvania. Side note... The 21st reportedly dug and built the defences at the apex of the Mule Shoe during the night. They were pulled out before day break and sent forward as skirmishers, much to their dismay since they had worked so hard building the line. The 25th was put in, in their place. When the wave of blue came upon them in the morning the 21st barely made their escape around the flank. The complaint ceased when they learned the 25th had been all but decimated, where they had been positioned.
