The following engraving and information is from Edwin M. Stone's book "Our French Allies" published in 1884.
"The standard that belonged to the Regiment of Colonel Israel Angell, before the consolidation, bears a legend as appears on the accompanying engraving."
The author Stone writes of this flag as if it is still in existence in 1884 when he wrote his book. I am not sure if this could be the regimental colors, or one of the grand division type colors. Either case it is most interesting.
This is great stuff that your research is uncovering Mark - and with a practical purpose, as your American units look even better with their variety of flags and colours!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much. I appreciate your comments. It has been fun going down this rabitt hole of esoteric research on a very obscure topic.
DeleteMy hope is I can provide American Rev War players with some information to provide different flags for their regiments.
I do like a good flag. Keep up the great work.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I too love a good flag and for the American Rev War there are more interesting options available.
