Hi All,
Does anyone know the origin of the range flags?
At an Anzac Day service conducted by a surf club they said the red and yellow goes back to WW1 as a sign of friendship etc these are also the surf flag colours
Maybe no connection
Just interested in knowing
Thanks

Re: History behind the range red and yellow flags?
Doesn’t appear to be anyone who knows which is unusual.
All that I know is that the Artillery flags always showed red on top of their identification flags/plates.
I was also told the the red represents blood and the yellow the sand. Possibly a connection to Gallipoli?
But, this may have been just an easy way to teach newbies which way to fly the flag.
