Good day all,
Fresh fish here! Or fresh to this forum, but been around this sort of impression in the past, and got interested again. Mods, I hope I put this thread in the right place.
I'm doing some research on actual flagpoles, or I prefer the more elegant color-lance term, carried in battle. I haven't been able to find a whole lot of documented info on appearance, dimensions etc of actual color-lances, though I confess I have looked mostly at CS instead of US sources.
Any period descriptions out there of what was actually used? Off the top of my head, as a CS example I can only think of the carved pole (basically what appeared to be a shaped tree limb) that the 6th Ky's (CS) color was on when it was captured at Jonesboro on Sep 1, '64.
Regards,
Greg
