    Anyone know what happened to the Flag, is it still at Dover?

    The Forward Observation Officer from the 11th Medium Regiment RA who accompanied the attack infantry, succeeded in capturing the flag flown by the German Commander of the HARINGZELLES Cross Channel Battery. This was sent to the Divisional Commander who in turn forwarded it to the Mayor of DOVER. It was most fitting that the 11th Medium Regiment RA should have been instrumental in the capture of these guns as when they were infantry, their Brigade known as the “Dover Brigade” came under the shellfire of the HARINGZELLES Battery.
