.. Excellent, will follow up and try to find when and where the flag was obtained from. Decendents of Capt Hardwicke recently relayed the flag story... but also noting how typical "family stories" and legends tend to go... Maybe this might be the actual flag Capt Hardwicke secured and took home... maybe...

Was this an unmarked ANV 3rd bunting?...

Thanks again
