Something You Will Not Hear In School...Alf Whiting Was Born In Winchester VA. He Enlisted In The Army

Something you will not hear in school...Alf Whiting was born in Winchester VA. He enlisted in the Army in 1861 serving in Company K, 13th VA Infantry with Isaac Brady, later they were transferred to the 11th VA Cavalry. They were both captured and jailed at Cumberland, MD. Mr. Brady was sent to Camp Chase, OH and Alf was offered his freedom, but refused to take the oath of allegiance or to remain with the Federals. Mr. Brady’s Father, Samuel D. Brady, who lived near Cumberland went on Whiting’s bond for $6,000.00 in the condition that he would not cross the river into VA during the war.

Whiting attended every Confederate reunion within reach, as well as funerals of veterans and selected his own pallbearers among them.

This Is The Confederate First National Flag And Is Considered The Original National Confederate Flag

This is the Confederate First National Flag and is considered the original National Confederate Flag from 1861-1863. The Battle Flag of the Army of Northern Virginia is most commonly mistaken as the “confederate flag.”

Credit to the Mariners Museum in Norfolk, VA. This flag would have flown aboard the CSS Virginia. It flew everywhere and in as many places as the battle flag. The First National was coined the “Stars and Bars”

After the Confederates were defeated in the US Civil War and Robert E Lee’s forces surrendered in 1865, many of them sailed across the Atlantic and sought sanctuary in a rather unexpected place: Stratford-upon-Avon, in the English county of Warwickshire. Islam Issa says: “The county became a hub for Confederates in the immediate aftermath of the Civil War. And many people don’t know this but specifically Leamington Spa, just north of Stratford, attracted a lot of Confederates.”
