FLAG PRESENTATION TO 
THE "IRON BRIGADE".

Camp near Culpeper, Va.


May 7, 2009
Civil War Roundtable of Milwaukee 
presented the replica Tiffany Iron Brigade flag 
to the Iron Brigade Association

As you are aware, the original Iron Brigade Association veterans voted
to give their children and grandchildren membership in the Association
in 1897. In 1990, James Sullivan and William Upham, sons of Iron Brigade
soldiers, gave the Civil War Roundtable of Milwaukee, Inc. authority to
keep an official roster of the Iron Brigade Association and to hold Iron
Brigade reunions.
 
Since the Civil War Roundtable of Milwaukee, Inc., continues the
tradition of the Iron Brigade Association, it was determined that a
replica of the original Tiffany Iron Brigade Flag (actual flag at the
Wisconsin Veteran's Museum) and a replica of the guidon for Co B, 4th
U.S. Light Artillery be procured to be present at our regular monthly
meetings.
 
At our May 7, 2009 meeting, we reenacted the presentation of the
Tiffany Flag to the Iron Brigade on September 18, 1863. Mr. W. Y.
Selleck, Military Agent for the State of Wisconsin presented the flag
to Col. W. W. Robinson. We had all five regiments and Battery B
represented.

All meetings are at the Wisconsin Club (10th and Wisconsin) 
unless otherwise noted.
