Royal Yugoslavia (1918-1941)

Overview

There is a number of military rank flags that are not prescribed in the 1922 law, but are shown in the charts produced in the 1930s. This is why I believe that there must have been some regulation adopted between 1922 and 1937. Main sources for these flags are Isaić [isa01] and Flaggenbuch [neu39].

The flag of a Marshal (vojvoda) is horizontally divided blue-white-red with the national coat of arms in canton. According to Flaggenbuch [neu39], the vertical axis of the eagle is located at 1/5 of the flag left side in the horizontal dimension. It spreads over 9/10 of the blue stripe in the vertical dimension.

This flag is also prescribed by the1937 law.
