4th Regiment Irish Brigade (28th Massachusetts) – American Civil War Nylon Series Reproduction Flag

A Banner Honoring the 4th Regiment of the Irish Brigade

This 3′×5′ reproduction flag commemorates the 4th Regiment of the Irish Brigade, proudly represented by the 28th Massachusetts Infantry Regiment. The unit formed in Boston in 1861 and soon joined the renowned Irish Brigade. Under its green colors, the regiment fought bravely in campaigns from Antietam to Petersburg. Moreover, this banner’s radiant imagery celebrates both Irish pride and American loyalty. Together, these symbols reflect courage, faith, and an enduring devotion to liberty.

Authentic Design and Symbolism

The flag features a shining gold harp beneath beams of light breaking through the clouds. This emblem of Ireland expresses hope, divine favor, and national spirit. Above the harp, a bold red scroll reads “4th Reg’t Irish Brigade,” identifying the 28th Massachusetts as the brigade’s fourth unit. Below, another ribbon bears the Gaelic motto “Riamh nár dhruid ó spairn iann,” meaning “Who never retreated from the clash of spears.” The surrounding shamrocks represent unity among Irish soldiers and loyalty to their heritage. Each element, from color to inscription, conveys valor, perseverance, and faith in the Union cause.
