U.K. Royal Artillery, Camp Flag, WWII.
Battery S of the Light Anti-Aircraft Searchlight Regiment of the Royal Artillery.
This is a Royal Artillery camp flag of Battery (S) of the Light Anti-Aircraft Searchlight Regiment of the Royal Artillery. Although batteries of the Royal Artillery do not carry colors - the gun is considered the symbol of the unit - their camps were often marked with flags like this example. The actual amalgamation of Light Anti-Aircraft and Searchlight Regiments and did not officially occur until after WWII; this flag is thought to be from one of two expedient wartime formation serving in the Netherlands in 1944 and 1945.
