New Western Theater of the Confederacy HQ & Flag

The day was bright as the train pulled into the station in the city center. Out stepped a Confederate Colonel to read a proclamation:

All officers will be directed to note the new location of the Headquarters:

Signed This Day,

New Western Theater of the Confederate States of America Flag of the Commanding Officer

Atlanta, Georgia

After the proclamation was read, Lieutenant General Scott Ludwig stepped down from inside the train. A color bearer came with him. The new flag that the General was to use was unfurled:



The color bearer read from a piece of paper:

The Western Theater HQ flag under the second command of Lieutenant General Scott Ludwig.
The flag's background is the "stainless" white flag used previous. The flag has components from the
two armies in the Western Theater. The Army of Alabama and the Army of the Mississippi.
This is shown in the upper left corner that has the red crimson cross of St. Andrew from the State of
Alabama's flag representing that army. Placed over it is the Great Seal of the State of Mississippi,
to represent that army. The blue cross and the stars represent the cross of St. George from the
Sovereignty or Secession Flag. Finally in the upper right is the Battle Flag turned upwards to represent
the Confederacy as a whole and the mixture of various flags used during the War.

Flag designed by Lieutenant General Scott Ludwig and dedicated on 25 November 2011
