Flags wanted

Post by Tony B »

I'm due to go out to Ypres (Iper) at the end of July with Ruby to act as support vehicle for a re-enactors march to commemarate the Third Battle of ypres, Passchendale. The idea is to display on the Dodges small pennants of all the participants. There were Australian and New Zeland Troops involved, plus Indian and Chinese support troops. If anyone has such pennants they could let me have or lend me I'd be gratful. The ideal size is about 6 x 4 inches. you can see photos of last years Somme march at http://WWW.SOMME-MARCH.ORG

Hi Tony.
Have you thought about having the flags penants etc printed. I don't know if it is possible to produce them like Tee Shirts if you have the art work. There is a company in Walsall Staffs that produces flags, bunting and penants for companies advertising, plus all the National flags. I will give them a ring and check out the possibilities and cost if you provide the artwork.
Good to hear you are going to Ypres. Lovely pictures. I took the Hippo there in 2005 and took photos of it outside the Museum in the main square. I had a guy come up and started chatting only to discover he lives half a mile from me. We will be doing the Bethune trip again in September in the Hippo with IMPS. I don't know if you have ever been on that tour but is an experience to remember. A convoy over a mile long with a Police escort. I did a round trip from Wolverhampton of 850 miles in 6 days. Corns on yer ass!
