Ok everyone here is the 59/60 returned battleflags in 1905 by the War Department. Please realize that these Union flags were identified, at least 250 more Union flags (that had been captured by the Confederates) were not identified back in 1905. I dont have or know where to find the 250 Union flags "Unidentified".

Here is the list:

1). 34th Illinois--10th Texas Cav (Dismounted) (Col Locke).
2). 28th Illinois--Regimental lost at Jackson, Mississippi on 12 July, 1863.
3). 62nd Illinois--Lost their Regimental--nothing further.
( I believe the 62nd Illinois lost their flags during Van Dorn's Holly Spring raid. The 62nd Illinois was there on guard duty and 170 men the Major and 3 Lieutenants. This is where I believe they lost their Regimental flag.
4) 79th Illinois--18th Texas Cavarly (Dismounted), Deshler's Brigade, Hill's Corps. Well after knowing that Deshler was killed at Chickamauga, and "Hill's Corps" means D.H.Hill leads me to believe this flag was captured at Chickamuaga. It did not report where the flag was captured or date.
5) 85th Illinois--Regimental was lost on July 20th, 1864 to Hardee's Corps, Atlanta, Georgia. (After checking out the "Illinois flag, website: http://www.civil-war.com/searchpages/result.asp?Name=062nd&category=Infantry&Submit=Search+for+Flags

The 85th Illinois did lost their flag on July 20th, 1864 which is the battle of Peach Tree Creek. They were not in the main fight, I believe they lost their flag "while crossiing" the river. Jefferson Davis's Union Division, portions had a hard time crossing Peach Tree Creek. Only old Dan McCook's brigade so serious fighting. Since Dan McCook was killed at Kennasaw Mountain, 2nd in command was Col Dilworth (old commander of the 85th Illinois). While crossing Peach Tree Creek they tried to take a hill overlooking Howell's Ferry crossing, losing 245 men. This is where I believe the 85th Illinois lost their Regimental flag at.

6) 104th Illinois--Regimental captured on Dec 7th, 1862 at Hartsville, Tenn, by the 9th Kentucky Infantry.

7) 104th Illinois--National flag captured by the 2nd Kentucky same place as their Regimental flag.
