Civil War 15th Army Corps Forty
Civil War 15th Army Corps Forty Rounds Headquarters Guidon Worsted wool 49 x 60 in. overall 36 in. forked end. Red field stenciled with ''Forty Rounds'' and a U.S. cartridge box. Blue border machine stitched to red field with reinforced hand-stitching along area near forked end. Gold cotton fringe hand-stitched to blue border. Canvas hoist machine-stitched to field with inked in block letters 2d Brigd 15th.General Orders 10 Fifteenth Army Corps of February 14 1865 established a color coded system for the Corps' divisional and brigade flags. This was modified on April 9 1865 with General Orders No. 21 which specified the corps and four division flags to be ''silk or bunting five feet six inches fly five feet hoist.'' The brigade flags were specified to be ''swallowtailed five feet from the peak to end of the swallowtail and three feet to the fork four feet five inches on pike. The field of the flag shall be the division color and besides fringe it will have a border of one of the Corps colors other than the particular Division color.'' This swallowtail guidon generally conforms to the specifications of General Orders No. 21 including the yellow fringe prescribed for the divisional flags. The headquarters flag of the First Division in conformance with the orders was red. This guidon with red field and blue border is that of the First Division Second Brigade Fifteenth Corps which was specified in the General Orders to be ''field div. color border blue.'' Indeed the flag is marked on the hoist edge ''2nd Brigd 15th A...'' Color images of all Union headquarters flags including for this guidon can be found in the book Civil War Battle Flags of the Union Army and Order of Battle compiled by Gen. C. McKeever Quartermaster General of the U.S. Army. At the time of issue of this guidon the First Division was commanded by Bvt. Maj. Gen. Charles R. Woods and the Second Brigade by Col. Robert Catterson. His brigade consisted of the 26th 40th 103rd Illinois; 97th and 100th Indiana; 6th Iowa and the 46th Ohio Infantry. The Fifteenth Corps and this division were heavily engaged in the Battle of Bentonville in North Carolina on March 21 1865 before these flags were issued. The story of how the Fifteenth Corps adopted their corps badge may be as much apocryphal as real. The story goes however that one day an enlisted man in the corps of Major General John A. ''Blackjack'' Logan was asked where his corps patch was. Clapping his hand on his cartridge box he said ''Forty Rounds. Can you show me a better one?'' Shortly thereafter Logan issued General Order No. 10 prescribing that the badge for the Fifteenth Corps should be a miniature cartridge box and above the box will be inscribed the words 'Forty Rounds.' The Fifteenth Corps was a favorite of Maj. Gen. William T. Sherman probably because he was its first commander after its creation on December 18 1862. Sherman commanded the corps into the siege of Chattanooga in November 1863 where he took over command of the Army of the Tennessee. Maj. Gen. Frank Blair took over for a short time before being replaced by Maj. Gen. John A. Logan who led the corps through the Atlanta Campaign. In September 1864 Maj. Gen. Peter Osterhaus commanded the corps on the March to the Sea. Logan returned to command in January 1865 for the campaign into South and North Carolina. Maj. Gen. William B. Hazen commanded the corps from May 1865 though its disbandment in August. Union designating or headquarters flags are quite rare with not that many to be found in museums and even fewer in private hands. These are dominated by the flags of the eastern Army of the Potomac with very few western Union Army headquarters flags surviving certainly fewer than those of its eastern counterparts. To our knowledge no other such flag has appeared on the market in the last two decades. An exceptionally rare flag from the end of the Civil War. Greg Biggs Clarksville Tennessee. March 2012 Provenance: Found in North Carolina and descended in the family of Reverend John K. Mason of Richmond Virginia. Condition: Very Good Mothing fraying the fly edge is distressed. Canvas hoist split.

15th Corps Veteran Sixth Plate
15th Corps Veteran Sixth Plate Tintype with Inset Forty Rounds Badge A painfully young early war volunteer from the call of 1862 wearing a regulation four button sack coat with cravat that is the off-to-war dress of a recent civilian. The anonymous private is accoutered with a US oval plate on a pristine just-issued leather belt holding a brass-hilted sword bayonet. Pinned vertically to the pillow of the case is an iconic post-war painted metal Forty Rounds badge suspended from a pressed eagle and stenciled American flag segment evidence that the young man survived the war and lived to associate with fellow veterans in the GAR. Sherman??Ts hard-scrabble bummers were busy ''marching to the sea'' in February 1865 when the iconic 15th Corps badge was formally adopted and there is no documented evidence that ?Forty Rounds? ever saw field service except as the contents of a fully loaded cartridge box. Condition: Varnished plate near EXC. with just average clarity. Glossy black cartridge box with slight bend on right flap and minor paint loss at edges; raised gold paint perfect. Fine cloth flag segment worn and frayed missing lower metal planchet. Tintype and badge housed in separated composition case missing front lower edge.
