white and red and superimposed by a white rectangle, also fimbriated grey,

I have found a few photographs on the WWW showing the flag of the GWU (General
Workers Union). They all show the flag as described by Klaus-Michael Schneider.
However, there are minor variations in the size of the badge, and in the shade
of the flag cloth. The grey fimbriation of the badge looks shiny, silvery to me,
at least in a few cases. New gif attached as <mt}gwu.gif>
