Brig Posted February 18, 2014 Share #2 Posted February 18, 2014 Maybe a Chapel flag...we don't have chaplains, we use the Navy's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugme Posted February 18, 2014 Share #3 Posted February 18, 2014 It is indeed a USMC Chaplain pennant used in WWII for what was referred to as "High Mass" while at sea, these were not use in combat settings. As Brig noted,the Chaplains assigned to Marine groups, would have used these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
