"For hearth and home" - 9th Mississippi Lafayette Guards

9th Mississippi Infantry Regiment, organized at Corinth, Mississippi, in March, 1861, recruited its men in Tate, De Soto, Marshall, Tishomingo, Quitman, Lafayette, and Panola counties. After serving in Florida and fighting at Shiloh, the unit saw action in Kentucky. Later it was placed in General J.P. Anderson's, Tucker's, and Sharp's Brigade, Army of Tennessee, and fought at North Carolina. It was organized with 930 men, sustained 53 casualties at Munfordville, and lost 8 killed, 71 wounded, and 5 missing at Murfreesboro. Of the 332 engaged at Chickamauga, more than thirty percent were disabled. The regiment was briefly consolidated with the 7th Mississippi Regiment and in December, 1863, totalled 468 men and 252 arms. It surrendered with 43 officers and men.

"Pro aris et Frocis" is directly copied from the written descriptions and appears to be a miss-spelling of the Latin "Pro aris et Focis" - For hearth and home. Similar inconsistent Latin spellings are seen across various pre-war and wartime flags, often with the spelling being be phonetic in nature, rather than the technically correct spelling. Similar "unusual" spellings of Latin phrases can be found on flags from Alabama, South Carolina, and etc.
