You can see on
line the regimental color of the Portuguese Guinea Provincial Military
Command, wich existed until the independence of Guinea-Bissau in 1975 and was
brought into action in 1961, to fight the local colonial war. (See also
these
two English
Wikipedia articles.) It is a regular Portuguese military
color, with the usual addition of a white scroll under the emblem with the
name of the unit. In this case, it reads «Comando Militar da Província
da Guiné», in embroidered capitals, the middle word "da" in half size.
