@2ndMississippi Excellent Micael. Waller awarded MoH for capturing flag but all involved were heroes, many KIA. More details in my book. 30 years later Dawes and Murphy corresponded as “comrades”. See Gettysburg Mag. #70. Flag in great condition, Jackson, MS State archives.
@2ndMississippi Wm. Murphy, the 2d Miss. flag bearer, exchanged letters in the 1890’s with Rufus Dawes, commanding the 6th Wisconsin during Gettysburg.
@2ndMississippi Well done & congrats. “The Memoirs of Charles Henry Veil” p. 28,29 recounts his actions. I’ll try a Message to you. About other 2nd Mississippi info. S. Magnusen. Author: “To My Best Girl - Rufus & Mary Dawes Story” & They Called Each Other Comrades.”
