Ben,
Thanks.
What is missing are paper trails - QM letters from that depot mentioning flags, flag shipment invoices, QM requisitions from units of the Valley army for these flags (I have not been through most of the VA units for such things - Ken might have however) and the telegraph papers that I have mentioned before.
While much from the CS government and military was saved much was also lost. That is the sad part of this.
