| Full description: |
A sledging flag in the form of a forked pennant. It is made 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 cream-coloured upper part edged with pale blue cord, and a pale blue lower part edged with cream-coloured cord. Two embroidered badges with metallic thread, one with the emblem (a hand holding a dagger) and the other with the motto ('Sua Dextra Cuique' – 'His Own Right') are appliquéd to the tail section. A white piece of textile is stitched to the left/pole edge of the flag to form a tube. The entire flag is backed with calico.
