8th Virginia Infantry Regiment – American Civil War Nylon Series Reproduction Flag

A Banner Honoring the Courage of the 8th Virginia Infantry

The 8th Virginia Infantry Regiment – American Civil War Nylon Series flag pays tribute to one of Virginia’s most respected Confederate regiments. Formed in Leesburg, Virginia, in May 1861, the regiment drew men from Loudoun, Fairfax, Fauquier, Prince William, and Clarke Counties. It served with the Army of Northern Virginia through nearly every major campaign. Moreover, its bravery at battles such as Manassas, Gaines’ Mill, Boonsborough, and Sharpsburg earned lasting distinction. This 4′×4′ reproduction reflects the same pride carried by the men who fought under its colors.

Authentic Design and Symbolism

This square battle flag features the familiar St. Andrew’s Cross in blue with white borders on a crimson field. Thirteen white stars represent the Confederate states. Around the cross appear the regiment’s major engagements: 1st Manassas, Williamsburg, Seven Pines, Gaines’ Mill, Frazier’s Farm, 2nd Manassas, Boonsborough, Sharpsburg, and Leesburg at the center. These inscriptions mirror the honors later painted on the regiment’s surviving colors. As a result, the design stands as both a record of service and a symbol of endurance across four years of conflict.
