Government flags

These are flags of government ministers from the Kingdom of Romania (1921-1947) unless otherwise noted.

War minister:

The national tricolour in a square format with a white letter M in the middle of the blue stripe.  As explained previously, there are some minor differences between
this flag and the one used today, but they may be only due to different representations. There is no indication when this flag was adopted. According to FOTW
the flag was used up to 1952 when a new flag was adopted for the function. However, do we have any confirmation that it was actually used after WWII at all? I presume that it might have been technically abolished only in 1948, but it might have been in disuse even longer.

The national tricolour in the square form. The flag was apparently abandoned after WWII, and was not readopted in the end of 20th century.

[Navy Jack, 1921] 1:1, by Calvin Paige Herring

A yellow square flag with a red border and the coat of arms in the middle. According to the explanation for the war ensign, below, the maximum usage period might have been 1921-1948. We need more data to see what was used earlier, if anything.

War flag and ensign:

[War flag and ensign] 2:3, by Zeljko Heimer

The national tricolour with the coat of arms set in the middle. The caption in Flaggenbuch (1939) does not clearly explain if this flag was also used on land as the State or War Flag, possibly. The coat of arms used here is from Christian Siemer's site (www.christian-siemer.de). Christian shows six different versions of the coat of arms from 1859 to 1948. Its usage on the national flag (and other flags too) need further research. The site dates the
