Thankyou for the beautiful postcard. I am from Singapore. I wonder if it is possible for me to use it to print out on one of my school booklet to show my students about the colonial flag that flew in Singapore before. Are there any copyright procedure to this postcard?

Thanks for your help and thankyou for posting this online.

What a great site- and a fabulous classroom!
I took a quick look when I get a moment and also include a link in the post above.
For now I need to get back to preparing my classroom for my students who are arriving Tuesday!

I teach history here in Peking, and I think you might care to have a look at the flags I have had made and now hang in my classroom. It’s on a website I made devoted to British Imperial Flags.

Thanks for a gorgeous posting. So interesting and well researched. Had a great visit in Hobart, Tasmania on the Derwent River where there is a signal station at Mt Nelson. Approaching ships could be spotted coming up the Derwent to the town of Hobart(Signal Station est.1811) In this little room was the offical British Admiralty Flag Book with all the codes and signals used for sending (flag) messages. The walls were decorated with gorgeous coloured illustrations of the flags. Thanks Evelyn

What an interesting postcard. I didn’t know about the red or blue flags, but I don’t think I ever thought of it. Fascinating. Thank you!
