SC Division Flag Preservation Committee Report, April 8, 2011

Our committee meets twice per year in May and October.

We agreed to pay to have four flags conserved this past year, the Catawba Rangers flag, the 1st SCV “Gregg’s Green” flag, the Wagner Light Artillery flag, and the Richland Guard flag.

The Catawba Rangers flag and Gregg’s Green flag have been completed and are back at the Confederate Relic Room. The Wagner Artillery flag will be completed soon. We also obligated to preserve the flag of Co. D, 2nd SC Cavalry, if the Relic Room can secure a transfer from another state agency to their possession.

The total number of flags conserved so far is five, including the previously preserved flags of the Pee Dee Rifles, 7th Battalion, and Beaufort Artillery. Two other flags are at the conservators presently being treated and we have made a commitment to preserve the 2nd SC Cavalry flag.

Committee member Dennis Todd is still inventorying all SC flags in museums and private collections around the country. He has assembled an impressive collection of photographs and has worked tirelessly to see this job completed.

The Confederate Relic Room and Military Museum has prepared a new exhibit on Confederate flags including those preserved recently by the SC Division SCV. The new exhibit opened on Friday, May 6 and is very well done.

SC Division Flag Preservation Committee Chairman
