Summary

Description
English: Hardee Battle Flag pattern, Cleburne's Division 1864 issue; Cotton with dark green, black and red paint, 30" x 36"; War Department Capture Number 231, Old State House Museum Collection. Note: Key's Battery was captured with most of the rest of Daniel Govan's Arkansas brigade, including the 1st Arkansas Infantry Regiment, in the fighting at Jonesboro, Georgia, on 1 September 1864. A light artillery battery, the unit was organized at Helena in 1861, with John Calvert as captain and Thomas Key as first lieutenant. After Shiloh, it became known as Key's Arkansas battery. It is consistent with the last two flags of the 1864 issue, and as a group they reinforce the observation that decorating was done at the brigade level at this point in the war. The crossed cannon are unusual on an artillery flag, as they generally honor capture of enemy guns by infantry. The honor may have been extended for silencing enemy guns in an exchange, but is unknown before 1864. Old State House Museum, Little Rock, Arkansas
