The "Alamo flag" is often thought to be the same basic design as the flag of Mexico with three vertical stripes (green to the left, white in the middle and red to the right) with the date1824 in the very center of the flag's white stripe. There may be no solid proof that this was the "Alamo flag" at the time of the battle. The most likely flag flying over the Alamo in March of 1836 was the "New Orleans Greys" flag - a gray-blue flag with the words "First Company of Texan Volunteers." This flag was believed to have been taken by the Mexican General Santa Anna who led the battle against the Texans at the Alamo. The flag is still in the possession of Mexico.
