Units would also add lettering and other art work to their First National flags. The 5th Kentucky regiment had the letters "C" and "G" embroidered on their flag in beautiful knot work to stand for their name: "Citizen's Guard." It was also common for Kentucky units to use the Roman Cross motif, symbolising
their Christian heritage.

Southern Oregon Historical Society, where it has been since the 1950s. It sold to a private buyer for $51,480."
