| Hi all,
A member of a wargaming forum I frequent has been looking (unsuccesfully) for the measurements of regimental flags during the time of the zulu war, does anyone happen to know them?
He's been searching for a while so any assistance is much appreciated.
Many thanks

| Hi 90th,
Thanks for the quick response.
The 24th colours are the most important as he's wargaming Isandlwana, anything other regt than that is a bonus .
Many thanks
