Not sure where I should post this, but I have a question on flags units carried into battle. I realize many/most of the unit flags were made in the towns where the regiments were formed, but what about situations where a flag needed to replaced, or a new flag created (new unit formed from a larger unit maybe?)? Did the soldiers sew them themselves?
Also, was all decoration done by sewing/embroidery, or were there circumstances where the fabric was perhaps painted?
