	The Southern Cross (square flag, blue St. Andrew's Cross with 13 white
stars on a red field) became the regulation banner, but bear in mind that many
battle flags were issued by the states or (most commonly) donated by the
neighbors and family of the unit's members. Therefore, you might see the
Stars & Bars (Early War), the Southern Cross (square in the East,
rectangular in the West), a State Flag or something completely unique to
that unit (especially in the West)-- all on the same battlefield.
	If you have a specific theater of war/unit/time period in mind, please
feel free to post a follow-up here and I can go into more detail about what
that interests you. I can also expound on the whole subject at length, but
I usually give my victims a chance to beg off before I get started on a
War-related topic. :-) 
	Hope this much helps!
