It's the 4th (Manicaland) Battalion, The Rhodesia Regiment Foxtrot Company flag. The company commander was Major F.J. (Buster) Johnson. 4RR was based in Umtali.

2] RR beret belonging to an officer of 4RR with a 6th Battalion badge and genuine white and blue hackle of 4RR.

If your interested in selling the flag I know someone who might be interested in buying it who specializes in collecting 4RR items.

Default Rhodesian flags
THanks for sharing pictures of these harder to find Rhodesian military flags.

Anyone have an original British South Africa Police flag with Kings Crown as used in the 1940s?

Regards Greg

The Kings Crown BSAP flag is a difficult one to find.

For interest - a few more Rhodesian flags that I have in the collection. The Union flag is Rhodesian made and was flown throughout at one time. The BSA Company flag is an original 1893 version (ie without the red circle around the centre).
