The Red Cross Flags were to be flown by all “Ambulances” or non-combat vehicles which were protected as medical transport vehicles under the Geneva Convention during WWII. Used on jeeps, trucks, halftracks and other vehicles, these flags doubled as Geneva Convention non-combat markers at aid stations and casualty collection points.

Our Red Cross Flags are made from 100% cotton bunting and constructed by means of “cut edge” embroidered edging. This assembly method duplicates the original pieces manufactured during the early part of WWII and again in many theater made examples throughout England, France and Italy. Our flags feature a reinforced pipe sleeve and a three part appliqué field construction, one of three industry standard assembly methods used by the flag industry before 1955. Overall size is 1'6"x2'3" with a 1.25" sleeve as per US Army Regualtion 260-10 (1942).
