No.48 Engineer Vessels. :D NOTA BENE: The nice thing about being able to enlarge the artwork of the flags and guidons 300% is to better view them as they are not all that large on the printed page and a magnifying-glass is a must for folks like myself who need glasses to read and or see with. You can see you still get enough detail even enlarged three hundred percent. Neat, yes?

Nos.248, 249, and 250 - United States Infantry Company Signal Flags, First Battalionm Sedcond Battaliom and Third Battalion. thumbsup.gif This appears to be a very little known part of 1900 - 1918 militaria history, perhaps a few knew about these small signal flags. Let us know!
