Re: Captured Union flag from BG.Hays--Gettysburg
Hi, the 8th La did loose their flag at Gburg. A while back, Terry Jones (I think??) wrote an article on the loss of the 8ths Flag. I have it some where and will find it and post what it states. IF I remember right, the title is the Twice Lost Flag of the 8th Louisiana, or something like this. Mr Jones is very much knowledgable of this action. My remeberence is that the guy from the 107th Ohio is 'generally' given credit, tho no one seesm to know where the 8th's flag is.
