10th Virginia Command Stand

Here's a few shots of the command stand for the 10th Virginia. The veteran 10th lost its battle flag on May 3 when it was captured by the 68th Pennsylvania of Graham's brigade of the 3rd Corps. I once read that it also carried a Virginia state flag during the course of the war so I decided to include it---plus it adds some variety to the mix!





Here's a link to see the captured flag of the 10th Va:
