10th Tennessee Infantry Regiment “Sons of Erin” Flag – American Civil War Nylon Series Reproduction Flag

A Banner Honoring the Irish Volunteers of Tennessee

The 10th Tennessee Infantry Regiment “Sons of Erin” Flag – American Civil War Nylon Series Reproduction Flag honors one of the most distinctive Irish-American units to serve in the Confederate Army. Organized in Nashville, Tennessee, in 1861, the 10th Tennessee Infantry was made up largely of Irish immigrants and their descendants. These men carried a bright green banner featuring a golden harp and the inspiring words “Sons of Erin – Where Glory Waits You!” The flag quickly became a cherished emblem of Irish pride, courage, and devotion to their new Southern home.

Authentic Design and Symbolism

This 10th Tennessee Infantry Regiment “Sons of Erin” Flag captures the spirit and beauty of the original design. A rich emerald-green field centers a gold harp resting upon a cluster of shamrocks. Flowing red scrolls carry the inscriptions “SONS OF ERIN” above and “WHERE GLORY WAITS YOU!” below. The phrase came from Thomas Moore’s patriotic Irish song “The Minstrel Boy.” Together, these elements symbolize both Irish heritage and steadfast bravery. Furthermore, this modern reproduction is made from durable SolarGuard® nylon, allowing vivid color and long-lasting display both indoors and outdoors.
