Georgia Military Institute Flag Stickers

Georgia Military Institute Flag Stickers

The Georgia Military Institute was established in 1851 and continued class operations through the first three years of the war.

GMI operated regularly until spring 1864 when the cadets were formed into two companies and deployed to West Point, Georgia. 

During the Civil War, superintendent Francis W. Capers sent cadets to use as drill instructors for CSA, and other cadets volunteered or were drafted. On May 14, 1864, GMI cadets fought in the Battle of Resaca.  After this single engagement, the cadets were pulled off the front line.^[

The empty campus was burned by Sherman's troops on November 15, 1864. Following the Civil War, Georgia Military Institute was not rebuilt. 

Three stickers included in each purchase.
