Franklin Reenactment. Ed Conner Photos
A corporal submits the morning report to the company commander. The flag
is the Polk Battle Flag, flown by regiments in the Corp of General
Leonidas Polk. At this late stage of the war, however, most Confederate
units flew the standard Confederate battle flag, although the units under
Patrick Cleburne's command still flew their Hardee pattern flags (blue
with a white disk) |

The Tennessee
regiment continues to form. The flag flown by this unit is the rectangular
Battle Flag associated with the Army of Tennessee, and is sometimes
referred to as the "Southern Cross" |

The Tennesseans wait in line
for the order to move out and form with other regiments into brigades. This
