My brave Egyptian infantry are in the process of being joined by a chap waving a flag. After advice sought here, I have the correct flags but now I'm unsure as to the flagpole colour. Information would be gratefully received.

Would guess pretty plain but there is a uniform plate in the New York Public Library collection with an Egyptian staff officer of the period and behind him is a standard bearer with a red flagpole

Thanks, Frederick. I saw a few minis with red poles but you never know if a miniature is accurately painted or not.

No fear! Since it was a period plate I suspected there was something to it
