This is the flag design of the 21st Mississippi Infantry of the Confederate army.
THIS IS THE HIGH GRADE COTTON VERSION OF THIS FLAG - FAR SUPERIOR IN QUALITY TO THE POLYESTER VERSION
This regiment was formed from separate companies sent from Mississippi to Northern Virginia in the fall of 1861, where they were combined into the regiment and brigaded with 3 other Mississippi regiments under General P.G.T. Beauregard. They were at Manassas, and on the Peninsula Campaign, the brigade now under the command of General Barksdale.
They fought at Antietam,Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, and Gettysburg - where Barksdale was killed and Col Humphreys was promoted Brigadier-General to command the brigade.
This flag measures 5 feet x 3 feet and is made of high grade COTTON. We are possibly the only flag sellers in the UK to feature this flag.
