1st Florida Infantry Regiment Flag – American Civil War Nylon Series Reproduction Flag

A Banner Honoring Florida’s First Confederate Regiment

The 1st Florida Infantry Regiment Flag – American Civil War Nylon Series Reproduction Flag commemorates one of Florida’s earliest and most valiant Confederate units. Organized in Pensacola in April 1861, the 1st Florida Infantry Regiment entered service under Brigadier General Braxton Bragg. From the beginning, its soldiers displayed exceptional discipline and bravery across the Army of Tennessee campaigns. Their distinctive flag, marked “1st Florida” and “Shiloh,” recalls the regiment’s courage at the Battle of Shiloh, one of the earliest and fiercest engagements of the war.

Authentic Design and Symbolism

This 3′×5′ reproduction follows the classic Army of Tennessee battle-flag pattern used throughout the Western Theater. The red field carries a bold blue St. Andrew’s Cross, outlined in white and set with thirteen stars, each representing a Confederate state.

At the top, the inscription “1st Florida” identifies the regiment, while the lower field reads “Shiloh.” These markings mirror the original flag flown in April 1862, honoring the unit’s sacrifice during two days of intense fighting. Furthermore, the banner’s design embodies both Florida pride and Confederate heritage, uniting symbolism and history in a single, timeless display.
