RTA138
Proudly clutching his Mexican Flag this young officer bravely makes himself a target for the Alamo marksmen defending the old mission.
During the Battle of the Alamo, regimental and national flags served as vital rallying points amid the smoke and confusion of combat. Flagbearers occupied one of the most dangerous positions on the battlefield because the colors identified the regiment's location and helped maintain formation and morale during an assault.
King & Country describes the figure as:
"Proudly clutching his Mexican Flag this young officer bravely makes himself a target for the Alamo marksmen defending the old mission."
The figure depicts the tricolor Mexican national flag, which by 1836 featured the green, white, and red vertical stripes with the national coat of arms centered on the white field. As the assault columns advanced before dawn, officers and color bearers led their units toward the Alamo's walls while under fire from Texian defenders.
