Flag - 48th TN Nixon's Regiment

Organized in April of 1862, Nixon's 48th TN Infantry Regiment lost nearly 20% of it's men at Richmond, and half of it's men at Chickamauga. On July 31, 1864 Polk's Brigade was broken up and Nixon's 48th TN Infantry Regiment became part of Voorhies 48th TN Regiment. The 48th would fight until the Army of Tennessee surrendered in 1865.

The honors of crossed cannon show that the regiment had captured enemy artillery.
