Last check: ) The origins of the graphical style illustrated here and used on the flags made in Zimbabwe can be traced back to the Coat of Arms of Rhodesia, which were set upon the white stripe of the vertical tricolour of green-white-green, the Bird being in-chief. Flag manufacturers seldom look into the accurate detailing that the flag-fanatic notices and are quite happy to "go-along" with what the *official* specification sheets at their disposal show. The Rhodesian Coat of Arms (found in the centre of the Rhodesian flag) continued to be used until 12 September 1981 when the new Zimbabwe Arms were adopted. www.crwflags.com /fotw/flags/zw.html   (2104 words)

Zimbabwe Army (and its predecessors) Red is the colour representing the army, and the yellow and blue represented the British South Africa Police (BSAP) as the second force used in a very effective para-military role during the bush war (1972-1979), and in the early years of the 20th century it was the country's first and only military force. The Army flag's basic colours remained the same, but the crowns were removed and the badge was changed to show the lion and tusk above a green shield with a white pick-axe, with the 'RHODESIA' scroll below. The badge shown on this last version of the army flag is very similar to the shoulder patch worn on uniforms of the Rhodesian Army, an illustration of which also accompanies this message. www.crwflags.com /fotw/flags/zw^army.html   (691 words)
