A Banner Honoring the Union’s Amphibious Corps

The IX Corps Headquarters Flag 1864 Design – American Civil War Nylon Series Reproduction Flag commemorates one of the most adaptable commands of the Union Army. This 3′×6′ reproduction accurately recreates the banner flown above IX Corps headquarters during 1864 under Generals Ambrose E. Burnside and John G. Parke. Its striking white shield with an anchor, cannon, and red diagonal bar captures the corps’ naval roots and its enduring strength on land.

Authentic Design and Symbolism

The IX Corps badge, officially approved in 1863 and updated in 1864, displayed a white shield centered on a deep-blue swallowtail field. Inside the shield, a blue anchor, black cannon barrel, and red diagonal bar represented unity between the Navy and the Army’s artillery branch. Together, these symbols conveyed both flexibility and resolve.

During the Overland Campaign and the Siege of Petersburg, this flag marked the command center of the IX Corps. Because of its combined naval and land symbolism, it became one of the most distinctive flags of the entire Union Army.
