Real Army Signal BN Wants to Borrow CW Signal flags.

[hiplainsyank]

I'm the battalion chaplain for the 57th Expeditionary Signal Battalion at Ft Hood as well as a reenactor. We are having a change of command ceremony 28 June and our outgoing LTC would like to have signal flags and semaphore used at the ceremony (believe it or not a couple of our 20 year+ NCOs had to learn semaphore). In any case because of my reenactor connections I volunteered to help track down a couple flags to use.

I got a lead to the Signal Reenactor's website, and tried the TX contact but the email bounced back. Does anyone here do signals in TX and have flags my battalion could borrow? Or do you have contact info for Signal reenactors in TX?

Thanks for any help you can give!

A few minutes at a sewing machine (or hand sewn) would be one option. A small square sewn into the center of a larger square looks very easy.
