Question about history and Yellow Flag

[Guest]

Hello everyone,

I've been trying to find some info in the internet about this, but to no avail. Perhaps you can help me...

Do you know when was the Yellow Flag first used (aprox.) as a "court martial in session" signal? I'm trying to write an article about it, but I can't find any bibliography for such a specific topic.

Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated

Thank you

To get decent responces (or indecent) it might be a good idea and polite to get a username / profile.
Just a hint

I didn't realise that you could post as a guest. Doesn't seem right.

I didn't use username/profile because I am not registered. The reason I didn't register before asking was that I probably will not be a very active user, so I considered it improper to register just for one message, since there is the possibility to post as a guest

Surely, you wouldn't want me to go register now and post again the same message, right?

In any case, if someone can help, I'd appreciate it. Regards to all 8)

Hi Guest

You could try the Royal Naval Museum in Portsmouth:

or

www.royalnavalmuseum.org

or

Tel: 023 9272 7562

Maybe they will have some info for you.

Hi S_F,

I've just posted the previous info (museum etc) as a 'post reply' and it seems to work - perhaps the mods, in their infinite wisdom, can answer this :?

SF dear, have a bit of a lay down with a damp tea cloth over your face. Take plenty of deep breaths and go to your happy place.

Love RC x

I keep telling you my happy place is about 3500 miles away and they won't let me go. All the bloody chicken and rice isn't helping either.

When will this madness end? :cry:

Hey, just realised - Rosie blew me a kiss. Step aside boys, I think I've pulled.
Think my happy place has just changed. :wink:

SF let me make this quite plain! you have not pulled. You would know if you had pulled as you would be naked and masking taped to the floor and smeared in cat food.

Now take charge of yourself please!

 

[SILVER_FOX]

Now there you go again with the whole naked, masking tape and cat food thing. There are some of us here who are genuinely worried about you, you know. 8O

Given the cat food angle, I think I'll take a rain check on your kind offer. Another time, eh? :wink:
