My old colors, that of The Prince Of Wales' Own Regiment Of Yorkshire are laid up in York Minster. Although thankfully they are kept in a glass display case. Older flags are in the Minster but they are just now in a state of fragments. I would rather have this than in the ownership of someone who had never served in the unit and had no entitlement with the unit. I personally had friends killed in that unit so I consider the flags the property of the British Army and definately not for sale. I served in other British Army units, now disbanded and they are either deposited in Churches or Regimental Museums keeping them safe from those who have no entitlement to own them.
