13th Btn London Regt or Kensington town hall flag?

[High Wood]

I bought this flag today, the seller had been unable to identify it but I had a pretty good idea what it might be. However, I am not sure about military flag flying protocol so I do not know if individual battalions flew their own flags whilst in barracks or at camp.

If my hunch is correct, this flag should have a connection with the 13th battalion, London Regiment (Kensingtons). If I am wrong it probably flew over Kensington Town Hall. Your thoughts would be welcome.

This flag may be offered for sale.

A photograph of the entire flag. The field is red and grey and not red and white as it appears in the photograph.

I suspect that it is military, apart from the badge, the colours are those of the regiment's lanyard.
Presumably the battalions of the London Regiment would have flown their own flags in the same way that other regiments and corps still fly theirs.
One of the London Regiment experts will no doubt know.

Many thanks for the information regarding the colours. This might now end up being a keeper.

The grey is specifically for the 13th London Regiment and was still worn as Mess kit until fairly recently by the Signal Squadron who claimed the Kensignton lineage.

Proud to have been a Kensington. Regimental Flag. 41 along with Middlesex Yeomanry made no pretence at being purely Royal Signals and made no effort to obscure or hide or forget their lineage.
