Yep, that's normal protocol alright...

The old 11thS&T flag has been paraded a couple of couple of times since being stood down but i don't have a clue of the protocol on such things.

But AFAICR we used the old flag until it was replaced even though it was stood down.

We never got new Bn flags still use the old ones...........

And who is "we" if I may be so bold to ask?

A lad I know via on-line communications recently posed the following comments:



I never heard of this, is it some sort of a tradition in Cork?

Well, the flags of all the past overseas missions were carried in the parade to mark the
90th Anniversary of the Easter Rising in 2006. These too, would have been stood down
at that point...

Hedgehog might even recognise a couple of faces here, as it's the Vikings carrying the
flags....

A question, all the old FCA / RDF flags are stood down and the RDF
have new flashes, so why on Paddy's day in cork city have the
military police RDF carry flags that are stood down I cant understand it.
