At Rappahannock Station, the 5th Maine Regiment was conspicuous for its gallantry, capturing four enemy flags. But discrepancy between sources has led to confusion about which flags were captured. Fifth Maine Museum board member, Curt Mildner, will present the results of his original research to establish which four flags the regiment captured.
