Re: 2nd Iowa flag. "Stand of Colors"

Ben,

The flag taken at Corinth by the 2nd Iowa is unidentified and seems not to have been sent to the state during the war. I cannot find it on any of my listings so it must be out there somewhere.

The flag taken at Atlanta is that of the 5th Kentucky Infantry of the Orphan Brigade, Bate's Division. This is their Augusta Depot battle flag which I have a drawing of. It is similar to that of the 6th KY Infantry also taken in the Atlanta Campaign.
