GDG- Battle Reports

[IDunc at aol.com]

Just finished reading Richard Rollins "The Damned Red Flags of the  
Rebellion" The Confederate Battle Flag at Gettysburg, in which he states his  
frustration at reading the 1st hand reports of the capturing of the regimental  battle 
flags and the contradictory information presented. Rollins states that it  
seemed the higher the rank of the writer, the less accurate the report. My  
question, is this generally true throughout the war, or an impression particular  
to the battle flag reports? Ian Duncanson
