NOTE: Not much is known of the flags carried by the Landwehr and Reserve battalions. There was no official issue to these units, but some, if not all, carried a flag with either the cross or eagle devicein the centre; usually accompanied by a patriotic slogan. It is believed that the Silesian units used their state crest. I have assumed that the Pommeranians and Brandenburgers would have followed this practice. The flags would have been painted or even embroidered by wives and mothers and often presented to the troops by the Mayors of their home towns. There were no regulations to govern them, so each flag would have been an interpretation of the eagle or cross of Prussia.
