 CONT: As the 20th Maine is storming Maryes Heights, the flag bearer  is seen being shot down, with the flag pole breaking in half. He has  a green fig leaf tucked under his hat, right above his ear. This  indicates that this is a shot taken from footage of the Irish  Brigades attack, since only the Irish soldiers wore these figs (and  can be seen putting them on in a deleted scene on the soundtracks  extra features.)
