Per the following: Not necessarily true. My recollection is that when the Hays' and Hokes' Brigades were overrun at Rappahannock River, only one MoH was awarded, this for the capture of the flag of the 8th Louisiana. For the remaining 7 or 8 flags, one was hidden away and the others were 'taken.' I would suspect that the MoH was awarded only if there were some kind of 'fight' for the flag.
