Plate 1
This is the flag
of the 85 Honved (infantry) Battalion. While most flags did not have writing
on the flag, but on staff ribbons, some like this one did have the unit
name.
Plate 2
This flag was carried
by General Gorgei as well as by at least one Hussar regiment. It was made
of painted silk. The while of the standard looks silver in the photo of
it, which may be just the light on the silk.
Plate 3
This is the official
design for the Infantry battle flag. It was painted on silk with the Madona
and Child on one side.
Plate 4
This flag was carried
by the Torda National Guard cavalry sideways as shown at the top. Later
the 15th King Mathias Hussars and the 11th Szekely Grenz carried the same
flag design right side up.
Plate 5
This is a typical
cavalry flag carried by one of the 18 Hussar Regiments that fought for
the Hungarian cause.
Plate 6
Another example
of the Crown design
Plate 7
This was a common
design after the Hungarians declared their independence from the King--The
Austrian Emperor. Early flags had a crown for the Kingdom which has been
removed.
