Royal & Regimental Colours & Guidons
I am attempting, with help so far from Alan Kitchen of FFFAIF and Kate from Anzac Research, to log the current location of and to have photographs of each of the Battle Flags of the Australian Military. It is a subject little understood outside the military and sadly Australia lags behind the rest of the world in recording this part of our National Heritage.
.http://www.diggerhistory.info/pages-flags/0-flag-cat-index.htm
will show how far we have got thus far.
Any help appreciated and credited

The Army Museum of WA have several Battalion colours. Unfortunately they are all located under glass so I'm not sure how photo's will turn out, but if you want me to take some photo's of them for your project let me know and I'll give it a try.
Cheers
Andrew
grateful acceptance sent privately, Ted

The 7th Light Horse Regimental Guidon is still I believe at St Saviour's Cathedral, Goulburn, NSW.
