Flag

I removed the image of the modern flag, which was adopted by Kentucky in 1918 and finalized in 1928. I'm not totally sure what flag they would have flown, but I doubt it would have been that. The more so when you consider that it uses the state seal, while the confederage government of Kentucky adopted a different seal. See File:Ky CSA Seal.svg File:Kentucky CSA seal.svg. I think I've seen drawings of a flag using this KY confederate seal, but I don't have a source handy at the moment. cmadler (talk) 12:48, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Disbanded? Reorganized?

Despite the testimony that I have seen on a couple of pension applications, etc., I believe that it is technically incorrect to say that General Marshall disbanded (& then reformed) the entire regiment. That may very well have been the impression that many of the "twelve-months" men got when he decided to honor the terms of their enlistments, but in reality it was only their companies which were disbanded and/or consolidated. (While new companies were later, or had already been added to the regiment).

I refer you to the Report of the Adjutant General of Ky, vol 1, pg. 282, right-hand column, paragraph beginning with "Many of the twelve-months men..." https://archive.org/stream/reportofadjutan00kent#page/282/mode/1up
