reading signal flags
I am looking for information on reading signal flags at re-enactments. I participated in the signal corps one time and really enjoyed learning how to read them. I am looking for the most common codes used at re-enactments: i.e. 1,2,1,3 means this and 1,3,2 means something else. I am looking for codes for both Union and Confederate. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Look up SCARD on Google, read, and enjoy.
