A Banner Honoring the Courage of the 3rd South Carolina Volunteer Cavalry

Organized in 1862, the 3rd Battalion South Carolina Volunteer Cavalry served under Colonel Charles J. Colcock within the Department of South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. The battalion’s horsemen protected bridges, rail lines, and coastal defenses throughout the Lowcountry. Later, they joined campaigns across Georgia, supporting Confederate movements through the state. This 3’x3′ reproduction flag honors their resilience and the steadfast loyalty they displayed while defending their homeland.

Authentic Design and Symbolism

This flag showcases a white field crossed by a red saltire (X) with a blue circular medallion at the center. Inside the medallion, crossed gold sabers appear beneath the inscription “3 RD BATTALION S.C.V.”—a proud symbol of South Carolina’s mounted volunteers.

Together, these elements represent the honor and devotion of the state’s cavalry forces who rode under similar banners during the Civil War.
