Russian Civil War (RCW) Flags - White Army!

Printable flags for gaming or just standard and banner research into the Russian Civil War.  Right click the image and copy it into your favorite printing program, then size it appropriately for your scale. 

Instructions for mounting:

1.  Use a razor blade or very sharp knife, cut out the flag.  Dull blades will rip the flag sheet.
2.  Fold the flag carefully and test the fit around the staff.  
3.  When you are satisfied with the fit, apply a thin layer of white glue or glue paste to the back of the flag.  Wrap the flag around the staff.  There will be a short amount of time to make adjustments before the glue sets.   This is when the flag can be shaped to replicate “flowing in the breeze.”  Do not use cyanoacrylic glues.  These will destroy the colors of the flag. 
4.  After the glue dries, the flag can be treated with an acrylic fixative (i.e. non-water based laquer or varnish) if desired.

In keeping with the standard for flags in the Volunteer Army, the above represents the Kornilov Division Flag - you'll see that everything is identical except for the letter designating the name of the division within the wreath on the obverse..

The below, although using the word "detachment" on the banner, could have been used as a brigade flag.

The below are confirmed as the Regimental flags for the three Kornilov Shock Regiments.
