The Eastern
Theater HQ shall fly a new banner, under the Command of
Gen Robert Weir. |
This unique
flag combines elements of both the CSA 1st National and the CSA
Battle flag. |
The field
contains three stripes, the top and bottom red,
representing the two eastern theater armies, |
the Army of Northern Virginia and
the Army of Georgia, they are separated by a White
stripe, |
representing the purity of their
cause. |
The red
canton, which connects the two army stripes is framed by
the left half of a St. Andrews cross, |
the cross blue with white outline,
containing six white stars representing the six
Corps of both armies, |
three toward the top, three below.
Within the Red canton is a sun, representing the Eastern
Theater |
as the sun rises in the east. |
