The Color-Sergeant of the latter regiment had fallen and Berry seized the colors and bore them up the hill with his own.
I found an officer with drawn sword threatening to run the color-sergeant through if he was not allowed to pass.
The colonel, who for some reason could not accompany his men, presented the regimental flags to the color-sergeant.
On July 1, our Color-Sergeant was shot from a tree after our line had passed beneath the tree where he was located.
The Color-Sergeant was provost-Sergeant also, and had entire charge of the prisoners and of the daily policing of the camp.
