Greg Biggs - Blakeley HQ Flags

In Madaus' 1976 book on flags of AoT he states that the HQ flag captured at Blakeley had a dark blue Maltese cross and the flag captured at Franklin had a white cross.

In more recent on-line articles, Madaus et al gave the colors for the Blakeley and Franklin flags as being opposite from what is stated in 1976 book. The sources indicates the flags were at Museum of the Confederacy, but makes no definitely footnote.

Can you confirm the colors and capture locations of this division and brigade HQ flag. Since the HQ flag captured at Franklin was by same unit that captured 1 / 4 Mo Infantry, I assume the brigade flag was for the Missouri Brigade and not for Sears or Ector's Brigade of same division.
