Description of the Flag

The British army Avon Cadet cotton flag was posted at http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=310230618698&ssPageName=ADME:B:EF:GB:1123. It is 64 by 40 inches.

The Avon Cadets were affiliated to The Light Infantry and The Gloucestershire Regiment, two regiments of the southwest region. Those are their badges on the flag. The stringed powder horn is a traditional symbol of light infantry. The Gloucestershire Regt was awarded the Sphinx badge for action in Egypt against Napoleon.
