Default re modes of recognition

I was reading in a history of the Civil War that Gen. Armisted, a confederate, was mortally wounded at, I believe, the battle of Gettysburg. It was said that he flashed a mason sign and a Union man came and carried him off the field. I am interested in knowing if that is a usual thing in wartime, or highly unusual?
