The 30thNCT under Gen Cox’s was assigned to Early’s command in the
Valley District. Some time that fall
the Regiment was issued 5th
bunting battle flag- possibly from the Staunton Depot. This flag served her regiment untill April
1865, where under the command of Capt D.C. Allen, was surrendered along with
6 officers and 147 enlisted. The current condition of the flag is most
critical. The assumption of historians is the missing pieces were taking by
either 30thNCT soldiers, or Federal soldiers looking to take home a war
token. Several members of the 30thNCT paid a
visit to the flag and its ajoinging flag pole in the fall of 2009. From there
we set a goal to raise the funds nessessary to not restore- but to preserve
the flag. The estimate to preserve
this flag is $10,000. Once we raise
half way mark the flag will be sent out of state to start the preservation process.
