UNIT FLAG
The original battle

City firm of Tiffany and Company, and combines
the New York state and Federal emblems.
The nickname "McClellan
Cavalry" appears on a banner across the
top of the flag which was chosen by founder Colonel
N.B. Lord (Lord is misspelled as Lorde on the
flag) to honor General George B. McClellan. "Excelsior" (ever
upward) had been the latin motto of New York
state since 1778 and appears below the shield. "The
UNION must and shall be perserved" appears
on a banner across the bottom of the
flag and was a familiar rallying cry
of the Civil War.
