Colour Guard Flag Collection

The Society remains delighted to receive additional flags and colours
to enlarge its stand. As more research about the Revolution is done,
new (old) flags are being found.

A brief description of each Society's flag is presented here, along with
a colour drawing. You can click on the thumbnail picture of each flag
to view a larger image.
