This was delivered to my door this afternoon. Its WB ACW #17933 "Union Infantry Command Set #2, Irish Brigade - 28th Massachusetts". This is another nice command set featuring a regimental flag bearer and an officer (captain). The 28th Mass. Inf. Rgmt was also know as the 4th Irish Regiment and was part of the famed Irish Brigade. During the battle of Gettysburg, the 28th Mass fought gallantly in the wheatfield during the second day, July 2, 1863.
