Revolutionary
Flags of the Federal Republic of Whitlam.
This
exhibition was initially prepared for Vexpo '98 Chirstiana, and will be
displayed in Christiana when the exposition takes place. It illustrates
the early Revolutionary flags of the Federal Republic of Whitlam, with
a view to showing specimens and reproductions of even older flags in the
near future.
This
is an original version of the Revolutionary Flag of the Federal Republic
of Whitlam. Only 5 exist, and you are seeing one of them. They were hoisted
over the Terramarcian Command Centres when they were captured by Whitlamite
Troops. The flag used in Gough became the official national flag during
Whitlam's reconstruction. This flag is the one that was flown over the
coastal city of Forde.
This
is the Flag of the Combined Armed Forces of Revolutionary Whitlam (CAFRW)
More copies of this flag exist, and it depicts the Revolutionary Flag,
Naval Flag, and Air-Force Roundel (Also seen below)
This
is the Naval Flag of the Revolutionary Sailors. It depicts the 5 stars
of the breakaway states, over an image of the deep sea. Some of the strongest
support for the Revolution came from the sailors and any dissenting voices
in the Navy that supported Terramarc were dealt with internally. Both Whitlamite,
and Eastern Zartanian Naval units worked together in the defeat of the
Terramarc Navy in several small battles on the open sea.
Smaller
patrol boats that stayed within what is known in Whitlam as Labor Bay,
adopted this flag. These sailors dubbed themselves the Coast Guard, vigilantly
patrolling Whitlam's coastline, looking for enemy landing craft. Due to
their efforts, Whitlam's east coast was not attacked from the sea.
This
is our final flag from Revolutionary Whitlam, and it is the Merchant Navy
Flag. Sympathetic Merchant fleets from nations all over Vexillum flew this
flag, along with their national flag to show their sympathy for Whitlam
in the Revolutionary War. We are thankful for this day to those that flew
this flag with as much pride as we who flew our Revolutionary Flag over
those Cities back then.
