Vehicle Convoy Flags

[rob love]

They were often handed out right before a convoy although the red (or was it yellow) flags were usually stowed in every glovebox. They came in a clear plastic bag, and were simply tied to the antenna to indicate breakdown. I may have some samples out in the big shed.

I have seen the larger canvas pouches that included the 3 colours of flags and sticks....pretty sure I might even have one of the pouches stowed away somewhere. I got mine from some stores sent back after the Germany closeout. I hadn't seen them domestically. If we were making up a flag, usually some unlucky broom lost half of it's handle for the cause.
