richardharvey New Member South Africa 38 Posts	Posted 07/31/2013 04:54 am Hi thanks, if you referring to the two with red crosses being Swiss I was under the impression they may be British, (George's Cross) but hey I'm in this to learn. Report this Post to the Staff

Wikipedia: Lamb & Flag: From the Gospel of John (1:29): "Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sins of the world." The Lamb is seen carrying a flag (usually of St. George) and is the symbol of the Knights Templar, the Worshipful Company of Merchant Taylors, and St John's College, Oxford.
