First off, I apologize if this is a bit old and is inadmissible at this point.
Regiment name: 5th Georgia Volunteer Infantry Regiment
If the Company name is needed, please add "Clinch Rifles"

https://www.facebook.com/pages/5th-Georgia-Volunteer-Infantry-Austria/99495343481Since the regiment lost their flag twice, there are two recorded flags that I have found.
The first, part of a thread on the subject by (presumably) a member of the same Austrian Reenactment regiment -

This second flag is purported to be a fake, however I still like the design and am in the process of locating an image of the one in private hands.
*Addendum: The Austrian Reenactment group mentioned above wields a Clinch Rifles flag, which appears to be the Georgia battle flag with CR inside the circle of stars. This may be a copy of the flag that was reported to be in private hands.
Why would you like to see your regiment in Gettysburg?I feel they are a unique regiment in the Civil War, they have some really nice early war uniforms, and I've personally invested time into the ingame regiment and would be very happy to see them ingame!
Please describe your North and South experiences:I've personally not been a part of the community for very long, only about 6 months, but I've been one of the commanders of what I find to be a wonderful group of men under me, many of which I have come to consider to be great friends!
