When General John Reynolds arrives at Seminary Hill, his corps HQ flag has a cross botonny (or bottony, depending on the reference) as the corps device. Reynolds was commander of the 1st Corps, whose device was a circle. The divisions of I Corps (not the Corps itself) were identified by three differently colored flags with circles. The flag shown is the "Headquarters I Corp Guidon," the only flag associated with I Corps, used with the Corps commanding officer. The same guidon was carried by all Union Corps commanders, with only a change in number. The flag carried by the 2nd Division of XVIII Corps is somewhat similar, but it's a flag, not a guidon.
