Size: 45" x 48" (incomplete edges)
No battle honors or unit designation.
This flag was returned to Florida in 1927 by Ohio veterans. It was reported to have been captured by the 111th(?) Ohio Infantry Regiment at the Battle of Franklin, November 30, 1864, supposedly from a unit of Brigadier General Finley's Florida Brigade. Inconclusive information indicated that it may have come from the 4th Florida Infantry Regiment or from the Brigade headquarters. (Later research appears to point away from this flag being issued to the 4th Florida Infantry Regiment).
