WW1 1916 Original Military Issue Union Jack Flag Large.

An incredibly rare original and only the second example of an original Great War Period British Union Flag I have handled.

Also stamped Union 6 BDS (6 Base Depot Supplies, possibly issued at Rouen home of 6 Infantry Base Depot France ). The flag has been flown with a few small moth holes. Clean Condition.

This is an original Great War Period example, not to be confused with the reproductions flooding the current market.
