These flags came from illustrations in, Hobilar, The journal of the Lance and Longbow Society, No 53. |

Nice flags, but you've reflected the writing on the first, so on the left side it doesn't make sense. |

you've reflected the writing on the first, so on the left side it doesn't make sense. On purpose I guess. Mottoes were painted on. They would show through the silk the wrong way round on the 'obverse' side of the flag. |

Yep! Connard Sage is correct, It was on purpose, exactly for the reason that he suggested. |

I wouldn't worry too much, the flag will soon be dropped after a few rounds of bow, bill and artillery annihalation :) |

Interesting, didn't know the mottoes were painted on. |
