Beautiful flag! Sometimes it is the tiny details found within that you will discover after the fact that make them even more special! here is a tiny drawing I found on one of mine years after I first acquired it..A tiny Samurai on horseback charging with a Lance! It even depicts the sod flying from the horses hooves and the dust behind it!
Geoff that is very very cool . I've been sitting and just looking at this flag . of all the items I have collected these flags have to be the most personal items that a soldier could take to war . Gary
Great piece. If it could only talk! Thanks for sharing.
Very 'salty', but such a great flag - Congrats.........!
Regards,
Steve.
