trenchrat1918 Posted November 29, 2017 Share #1 Posted November 29, 2017 Hello, I've had a great month and have been able to add some high quality flags to the collection. In the last three weeks I've added a 4th Liberty Loan flag with a 2nd award, a nice big 10 star service banner, a WW2 service flag attributed to a WAC who served from 1944-1946, a Military Order of the Purple Heart chapter flag and a nice WW1 service flag with a Nov 6, 1917 patent date. The Military Order of the Purple Heart flag has been posted in the Veterans Org section. The Liberty loan flag came from the St Paul, Min area and is a pieced construction. The flag is quit faded both sides so I think it must have been flown outside. The flag also has a sewn star denoting an additional award.

Of interest is the lack of grommets, instead the holes have been sewn and whipped. Sent from my Moto Z (2) using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my Moto Z (2) using Tapatalk This little service flag is very common, this one however is attributed to a WAC from Belmont, NY. Catherine Codispoti (Manis) served from 1944-46 and was stationed at Fort Oglethorpe, GA and Fort Lewis, WA.

This one star flag is made from a loosely woven linen. On the white edge are printed the banner measurements ( 10x18) and the patent date Nov 6, 1917.
