I picked up a really cool Naval Guards Ensign. Now how many ships were designated as "Guards Ships"?
Lets see what you all have! Paul Last edited by CtahhR; 08-09-2012 at 03:38 AM. |

Re: Naval Guards Flags and Units
I do not know much about these kinds of flags, but I have one that is identical save the "glory" ribbon at the base. I never really knew what it was for and if the ribbon is a requirement (as I suspect it must be), then there is no point in posting it here.;)

Re: Naval Guards Flags and Units
Hi! What part of Louisiana are you from? I grew up in Crowely/Lafeyette area.
Anyway, the St George ribbon at the base of the flag designates the unit as a "Guards" unit. Same as the Guards badge on a uniform designates the wearer of a Guards unit. What ships were designated as Guards units? |

As for anymore info about the naval flag world, I must defer to people like Doug and the other "cloth" guys. Phillip

I need to find one of those naval ORB flags then. Were there naval flags with any other awards? |

Re: Naval Guards Flags and Units
The photo posted by Bill on the above left shows a flag that displays both the Order of the Red Banner and the Order of the October Revolution. It is my understanding that the only ship that flew this flag was the cruiser Aurora.
