Well, as soon as there were 2 confronting sides in this conflict and each had own flag, I suppose it would be reasonable to use a combined flag as an indicator of this period to reflect everything we need:

This combined flag is just a symbol which allows us to use the same theme "United States of America 1861-1865 (Civil War)" for both USA and CSA uniforms and insignias. Otherwise, we should make 2 separate themes as we did for Russian Civil War - we had to make a separate theme "White Movement". Just a symbol, nothing more.

The flag in use by this site for this topic is the flag that I posted a link to above. It is not a combined flag.

But this is a flag of CSA. What about a USA flag?

(2) Pants were supposed to be light blue except for generals and staff departments (the same in the USA). See:https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:War_of_the_Rebellion_Atlas_Plate_172.jpg
I also must correct my first post: "(3) There should also be a Regimental Commissary Sergeant. Insignia was three chevrons and three bars." Wrong insignia! I cannot find the right insignia.

Its supposed to be an "extended hand" (page 17), whatever that is.
