The 28th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry Regiment was one of the most renowned Irish regiments to serve in the Union Army during the Civil War. Organized in Boston in 1861, the regiment was composed largely of Irish immigrants and Irish-Americans and proudly served as part of the famed Irish Brigade.

The regiment saw intense and repeated combat in the Eastern Theater, distinguishing itself at Antietam, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, and throughout the Overland Campaign, including Wilderness, Spotsylvania, and Cold Harbor. At Antietam, the 28th earned lasting recognition for its fierce assault in the West Woods, suffering heavy casualties while maintaining formation under fire.

The regimental flag reflects the unit’s Irish identity and battlefield record, incorporating rich green symbolism and battle honors that commemorate the courage and sacrifice of its men. Known for its discipline, determination, and resilience, the 28th Massachusetts became emblematic of the broader contribution of Irish soldiers to the preservation of the Union.

This flag stands as a powerful tribute to one of the Civil War’s most storied fighting regiments.
