The men in the banner from left to right:
- 2nd Corporal Eli C. Lewis, Co. B, 8th Missouri Cavalry Regiment
- Major General Sterling Price, Army of the West, C.S.A.
- 2nd Liet. Joseph G. Lewis, Co. B, 8th Missouri Cavalry Regiment
- Colonel William L. Jeffers, Commander of 8th Missouri Cavalry Regiment
- Major General John S. Marmaduke, Division Commander, C.S.A.
You'll notice the Missouri Battle Flag, or Price's Flag as well as the Confederate Battle Flag. That is also my 1853 Enfield rifle laying across the flags. At present, I do not own cavalry weapons, such as pistols or sabers, etc, but am involved in an infantry group, the 26th NC Co. G, at present. That is why the Enfield is shown. But I guess since the 8th MO was largely used as dismounted infantry, some of the guys could have used Enfields in their operations.
