I can't find a battle flag for the 11th West Virginia volunteer infantry as a matter of fact its kinda hard to find any info other than muster roles for them. I'm sure it would look like all the other WV infantry but different engagements. The 11th WV did spend most the time divided with half the companys holding ground and the others on the move with Ohio regiments. Was it normal to divide regiments like that? It does seem the 11th had leadership issues (grandpa excluded lol) maybe that is why they were attached to more stable regiments.
1 anyone know anything about 11th battle flag?
2 was it normal to break up a regiment?
3 bonus question how often would a private be promoted to a 2nd Lt? (Noticed it in the paperwork)
