Regimental flag The regimental flag of the 25th Indiana Infantry Regiment was returned to the Indiana War Memorial Museum in 2007 by the FBI art crime division. The flag was found at the Waterloo, Indiana branch of the First National Bank of Fremont, Indiana. Earl Ford McNaughton, the bank's former executive, had purchased the flag for $43,250 and had it as a part of his private American Civil War collection. The flag had been labeled as missing from the museum's flag inventory since the 1990s, although it was accounted for in the 1980s inventory with an estimated value of $50,000 to $60,000. Wes Cowan of Cowan's Auctions of Cincinnati positively identified the flag as authentic and the flag was returned to the state of Indiana at the Indiana War Memorial Museum, the custodian of the state's Civil War flag collection.
