The Flags of Our Fighting Army / Including standards, guidons, colours and drum banners

The work surveys the history, design, and ceremonial use of military flags in the British Army, explaining the origins and evolution of standards, guidons, colours and drum banners. It describes regulations governing consecration, escort, and salutes, surveys distinctive patterns used by cavalry, infantry, guards, yeomanry and overseas units, and explains battle honours and related practices. Illustrated colour plates and an appendix of regimental colours support detailed descriptions and a chaptered structure that blends historical narrative with practical guidance.
