| Full description: |
A sledging flag in the form of a forked pennant. The flag is double-sided and is made of silk in three parts: a white square section on the left with two red ribbons appliquéd to form a St George's Cross; and a tail section consisting of a white upper part and a red (faded to pink) lower part. The tail is embroidered with the emblem (a leopard) and the motto ('Semper Paratus' – 'Always Ready'), and the upper part is embroidered with small motifs in black. The flag has a red and white cord edging all the way round, with two tassels at each corner.
