I with the help of many others have figured out the type and size along with pattern of the first battle flag of the 154th.

I will describe it to you. It is quite large. Not as large as some. Like 9FT. Yes a 9ft regiment flag. Could you imagine carrying a almost garrison sized flag into battle!!
First off let me tell you this was not done in one sitting. The picture was blown up in several areas several times to make sure we have this right. We did lots of back round checking and compared it to other flags. Before large production of flags, sizes varied from 3x4 to 4x9. On the material. Carrying a complete silk flag at the time in this size was inconceivable. Back then the flag would have cost well over 75$. (we think) The average cost per unit from a flag distributer was average 7.50$ at the start of the conflict. Plus most 154th company flags, except 2 that we know of were cotton wool.

Short history of the flag. It is one of the very few flags in the entire war, both sides, that had seen the exact battles that the honors describe. Though most all of the information is taken off the post war flag. It is with Great reason that this also is the flag that flew in so many battles. We feel this to be true from the picture used for this research. From the Dr.Quintard collection. Along with two other pictures from collectors encyclopedias. Bullet holes in the flag at the reunion. Also it is a fact not thought. The battle honors are a post war addition. The flag never carried honors during its use during the war. The Flag was retired after Murfreesboro. The second flag of the 154th is the 13th Tn flag. Then under Johnson a 12 or13 star Johnson flag. It is thought the battle honors on this flag were painted in black along the white stripe separating the red from blue. This my friends is for another time. I do though have all the information on this flag also. (except for the number of stars)

So for the material, we are sticking with standard issue at the time. Wool/cotton blend. (most blends today favor cotton)
Stars of silk. The flag is mounted on the staff A.K.A. pole by a sleeve.
Over all dimensions as you look at it with the field to the upper left corner.

*Width from left to right 82 inches includes sleeve
*Hight top to bottom 42 inches

*Field dark blue (would match colors of company flags)
Hight top to bottom 27 inches
Width left to right 30 inches includes sleeve

3 bars 2 of red (crimson) 1 of white

Top bar RED
Hight 15 inches length 52 inches

Middle bar white hight 12 inches length 52 inches

Lower bar red hight 15 inches length 82 inches includes sleeve

Stars 11 of white silk edges sewn first then applied to blue field in a complete 11 star circle. Stars 4 inches tall. All pointing down.
Starting 5.50 inches from bottom. 1 star on bottom, rotating to left and right forming a circle with ending with 2 stars at the top. All stars evenly spaced. The stars should be layed out before sewn. I don't know how else to describe them.

The lettering on the white bar, 3 inches tall formed across the white bar. Spelling 154th SENIOR REGIMENT. From the S in senior it slopes gradually towards the top. Coming 1 inch from the top of the white bar. The R in regiment starts a slope back down to meet up with the original line. Under the slope starting at and under the space between the S and E. In a straight line. TENN VOL. Starting from the left of the white bar closest to the blue field exactly centered in the bar. 2.50 inches from the blue field. You will notice the lettering will fall far short from the right border. The lettering is PAINTED in Black.

The information on this page comes from lots of research, not just from myself but several other folks, Not limited to Greg Biggs. But a BIG Thank You to Greg. With out his help I do not believe this project would of ever took off.
