Military flag

You can see on line the regimental color of the Portuguese Guinea Provincial Military Command, wich existed until the independence of Guinea-Bissau in 1975 and was brought into action in 1961, to fight the local colonial war. (See also these twoEnglish Wikipedia articles.) It is a regular Portuguese military color, with the usual addition of a white scroll under the emblem with the name of the unit. In this case, it reads "COMANDO MILITAR DA PROVÍNCIA DA GUINÉ", in embroidered capitals, the middle word "da" in half size.
