Color Sergeant George A. Branard of the 1st Texas Infantry was carrying this regiment's third battle flag — a wool bunting issued from the Richmond Depot after the regiment lost both its earlier flags at the Antietam Cornfield in 1862. On July 2, 1863, during the Texas Brigade's attack on Little Round Top, the staff was shot through and the flag broken into three pieces. Branard was knocked unconscious. He wrote about it in the Galveston Daily News thirty-six years later: he came to on the slope hearing fellow soldiers say he was still alive. Days afterward, as the regiment retreated to Virginia, a comrade who had picked up the broken flag returned it to him.

This W. Britain figure depicts the 1st Texas Infantry flagbearer in regulation Confederate gray — gray frock coat with sergeant's chevrons, blue trousers, the slouch hat, the cartridge box on his belt — carrying the 3rd Issue wool bunting Confederate Battle Flag with its standard St. Andrew's cross pattern. This is the third 1st Texas flagbearer in the W. Britain range and completes the regiment's three-flag set for a "history of the 1st Texas colors" diorama. Pair this figure with 1st Texas Flagbearer (Wigfall Pattern), the regiment's first flag; with 1st Texas Flagbearer (First Pattern Bunting), the second; or with Col. William C. Oates of the 15th Alabama, whose regiment fought alongside the 1st Texas in the assault on Little Round Top.

Scale: 1/30 (60mm). Matte-painted metal. W. Britain model 31398. From the American Civil War range. Single figure with stand-mounted flag, supplied painted and ready for display.
