(~4:5)

Ratio ~4:5. Adopted: 17 May 1924. In use except small changes
of the shield. In the red circle the name of the army unit that
is using it should be written .

This flag and the Cavalry Flag are my
"reconstruction" with what I think is reasonable to
expect what's written on the red ring, exaple for a mounted unit
and example for the Army (assuming that the army as whole would
have the infantry version of the colours). The image is based on
site <www.escaballeria.mil.co>.
There are few photos of the flag there but non good enough to
provide for the text. I was not able to find an other infantry
unit, so the Cavalry Flag image is maybe a
streching a bit too far.
