Battle Flag
of the
28th Thomas' Regiment Louisiana Infantry
...Flag design is based on a small torn
section of a regimental battle flag which is on display in
the Confederate Museum, New Orleans, Louisiana. 19 May 1865,
the regiment was disbanded at Mansfield, LA. Usually when a
regiment was disbanded the flag was torn into ten pieces and
a piece given to each of
the ten company commanders. (Placement of Battle
Inscriptions is speculative and based on similar Confederate
battle flags of the same period.)
