The flags in this Grouping are from the collection of Calvin Bullock, a Wall Street financier, businessman and promoter of Anglo-American goodwill during World War II. He used these flags to decorate his 1 Wall Street offices in New York City. His collection contained the world leading collections of memorabilia pertaining to Napoleon and Lord Nelson.
In the 1930s he sought to collect Confederate Flags and during WWII he acquired an important collection of U.S., British, French and other allied ensigns from his many international and important military and naval acquaintances.
Among these acquaintances was the Royal Naval officer, Anthony Kimmins, who as a liaison officer was able to procure for Bullock a number of significant WWII flags. After his untimely death in 1944 his son, Hugh Bullock, kept the flags on display as a memorial to his late father. Eventually they passed to a granddaughter from whom they were acquired.
