who or where was this flag made ? (why china dominantly in the left corner, and not canada ?..why FreeFrench in center ? Why free French at all ? (and not french tricolore ?)
Hi Arnhem, These are all questions I have asked myself. The Free French cross of Lorraine is also used by other countries in differing formats, but I have assumed it to be Free French. I also assume the union jack to cover UK and its commonwealth (which would obviously include Canada). Its been a mystery to me for years. I do not know if its a one off or a mass produced one. I have asked people such as Bonhams etc. but none have provided a definitive answer. All I know is that it was in my fathers possessions and he spent the war within the UK. I hope that perhaps some of the veterans might recognise it and provide some details. TD
