Flag Pole
Dedicated by
SCV Camp #286
Pvt. Job S. Neill
June 2004
The Camp is named after the Private, so this flagpole would be dedicated to all of the Confederate Veterans in the area. The flag being flown is the "Hardee" flag - a blue flag with a white circle in the center.
The Hardee pattern battle flag was designed by Gen. Simon Buckner who led a division under Gen. William Hardee. According to an anonymous soldier under Buckner’s command, Buckner’s wife made flags that had "no artistic taste about it, but which could not be mistaken." The Hardee pattern battle flag was issued to units beginning in November 1861. It featured a blue field with a white border enclosing a full moon.
