14th Corps (1863 Design) Flag – American Civil War Nylon Series Reproduction Flag

A Symbol of Endurance and Honor

The 14th Corps (1863 Design) Flag – American Civil War Nylon Series Reproduction Flag represents perseverance, unity, and courage. Formed in 1862, the corps served as a core component of the Army of the Cumberland, fighting under Major General George H. Thomas, the famed “Rock of Chickamauga.”
By 1863, the corps adopted its new emblem—an acorn—chosen to reflect endurance and steadfast growth. After surviving the hardships of early campaigns, soldiers proudly declared themselves the “Acorn Boys.” Their banner became a lasting mark of loyalty and honor on the battlefield.

Authentic Design and Symbolism

This design incorporates thirteen red and white stripes with a blue canton featuring a gold acorn encircled by white stars. The acorn symbolized patience and resilience, reminding soldiers that strength grows from persistence. Furthermore, the canton’s color represented Union integrity, while the surrounding stars honored the states united in freedom.
