Not sure if you have seen these but a load of very interesting flags on this site. It's in French so I'm a bit lost with the info… LES DRAPEAUX DES VOLONTAIRES 1791-1798 link Expédition d'Irlande 1798: Drapeau modèle 1794 link GARDE NATIONALE: link CONSULATE EMPIRE: link ARMEE d'ITALIE: link ARMEE d'EGYPTE: link

Thabnks. I can use the second one for the '98.

John, If it's of use, a journalist's description of flags captured from the 2eme Legion des Francs at Fishguard in 1797 indicated tricolours with 'Liberty Tree' devices. I'd say that design would be most suited to 1798 as well.

Very intersting theme eclipsing The only problem is that , in the majority of sources, onle the verso of the flag is shown and few descritions are available to reconstruct the recto..above all among Garde Nationale/Volontaires/pre Amalgame flags i recently bought this beautiful French book which plates show the same limitation link But you can find inside the flags of my favourite sideshow of the period..which is the War in Vendée.
