Description
Confederate Third National Flag and United Daughters of the Confederacy Certificate Belonging to Kennie May Ward Mayes, Daughter of William Ward of the 41st Georgia Infantry. The machine-sewn flag has minor mothing, but shows considerable soiling. It measures 38" x 23". The certificate measures 14" x 11.25", with minor chipping at the edges. Included are photocopies of research on Ward and the 41st Georgia Infantry.Third National Flag was adopted because the Stainless Banner, with a white fly, could be mistaken for a flag of truce. The flag was modified to include a red bar on the fly, 1/4 of the area of the flag beyond the now rectangular canton. The law authorizing the Third National Flag was signed into law on March 4, 1865. CS Navy vessels of the Richmond Squadron flew the Third National before its official adoption and there is little doubt that some government buildings did as well. Few flags of this version were issued and few survived.
