Beginning in 1743 it was decreed by King George ?that each British Infantry Regiment was to have as their ‘first colour' (flag/standard) the ‘King's Colour' which would be a large ‘Union Jack' as a symbol of royal allegiance. In addition in the centre of the Union Jack would be the regimental crest, in this case the monogram of the reigning Monarch (George?)surmounted by a crown. Also added at this time was the number of the regiment, the latin numerals IV", in the upper canton denoting the 4th Regiment of Foot. Over time selected battle honours were also added to the King's Colour however at the time of the Revolutionary War the flag remained relatively unadorned except as shown. It was normal at this time for the flag to be carried by a junior company officer, usually a lieutenant. In the remaining three corners of the flag are smaller royal monograms and crowns. A second junior officer carries this Regimental Colour.
