Ellsworth in the Marshall House in Alexandria, Virginia, on May 24, 1861. Brownell is possibly standing on the large Confederate flag captured in the incident for which he was later awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions.

Captured Confederate Flags
Union soldiers posing with Confederate flags that they captured in battle, each of whom was awarded a Medal of Honor for the feat, 1865. General John Gibbon, at center with his left hand on his belt, was in charge of transporting them to Washington, DC. Photograph is said to portray the 14 Medal of Honor recipients from the Battle of Fort Gregg during the Siege of Petersburg. Probably taken after Lee's surrender at Appomattox Court House.
Possibly the first photograph taken of soldiers with flags that they had captured in battle, a phenomenon that would become very popular in 20th century wars.
