5th Florida Infantry Regiment Flag – American Civil War Nylon Series Reproduction Flag

A Banner Honoring Florida’s Valor in the Army of Northern Virginia

The 5th Florida Infantry Regiment Flag – American Civil War Nylon Series Reproduction Flag commemorates one of the Sunshine State’s most distinguished Confederate regiments. Organized in Tallahassee in 1862, the 5th Florida joined Perry’s Florida Brigade within the Army of Northern Virginia, fighting under General Edward A. Perry and later Colonel David Lang. Throughout the conflict, this regiment stood shoulder to shoulder with the 2nd and 8th Florida Regiments. Together they earned enduring respect for steadfast courage during many of the war’s fiercest battles.

Authentic Design and Symbolism

This 3′×5′ reproduction follows the Army of Northern Virginia battle-flag pattern — the most recognized Confederate design of the war. The flag features a red field crossed by a bold blue St. Andrew’s Cross, bordered in white and filled with thirteen white stars representing the Confederate states.

Centered above the cross, the inscription “5 Florida” appears in cream-white lettering. This simple mark echoed the regiment’s pride as it marched beneath the command of General Robert E. Lee. Moreover, the rectangular layout replicates flags distributed through the Richmond Depot, where Confederate quartermasters standardized regimental banners. Consequently, this faithful reproduction captures both the look and spirit of the 5th Florida’s original colors.
