WWI Colourbearers

[GW844]

Just another thought - I've got some references to Germans carrying colours during the 1914 campaign - anyone know of any other nations who did so?  If so, would a mixed pack of colour-bearers be an idea?

[Fenton]

I think the British Army only carried them on parade or other formal occasions I am sure the Canadians and ANZAC's would have done something similar

[GW844]

I'm sure that the brits/imperial troops didn't carry them.

Not sure if Russians, French or Austrians did.

Don't think anyone di after the first campaigns.

[Dr Dave]

French and Germans definitely did at the start. British didn't.

Russians may well have carried banners at start of WWI, and certainly carried them in the RCW, so a Russian standard bearer would be a useful figure anyway.

[Shedman]

The standard bearer in the Russian command pack, RT4, from the Russo-Turkish War range is very useful

[Leman]

Thanks for that.
