Red Ensign

British merchant ensign. Wool bunting, design printed, machine-sewn. Reputedly worn by HMS 'Cyclops' at the time of the armistice 1918. Said to have flown from HMS Cyclops at Armistice 1918. This is unlikely as flag is dated after 1937 and is not the correct type of ensign. Rope and toggle attached.
