The flag you have as The "Army of north Virginia", is incorrect. That is his headquarters flag. It was made by his wife and daughters. This flag served as Lee's headquarters flag until 1863. The original is on display in the Museum of the Confederacy. The stars are arranged to depict the Ark of the Covenant. hope I did this right. [1]

Confederate General P.G.T. Beauregard was instrumental in creating the battle flag that has come to be synonymous with the Confederacy. Following the First Battle of Bull Run in 1861, he approved a new flag design for the Army of Northern Virginia after recognizing that the original Confederate flag—known as the “Stars and Bars”—looked too similar to the U.S. flag when seen in the confusion of battle

Well, one more data point. If you consult any of the books published about the Army of Northern Virginia, I do not believe you will find any that provide comparable tables, even though those books are obviously much longer and more detailed. Such tables are typically found only in books about the battles. And since Wikipedia has a rich collection of methods to create links pointing to other articles, the details could easily be handled using, say, {{ Further}} templates pointing to the more complete order of battle listings.

I think that we should merge the article about the Confederate Army of the Potomac into this article, they're the same army, the only difference is the name. -- 23.31.136.201 ( talk) 22:33, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
