The Flags of the Calne Volunteers. 



The two flags belonging to the Calne Volunteers have just been presented by 

 the Marquis of Lansdowne to the Corporation of Calne, and hung in the Town 

 Hall. These flags came into the possession of the grandfather of the present 

 Marquis tvhen the old volunteers were disbanded. One of these flags is of yellow 

 silk, with a small Union Jack in the corner, and in the centre the borough arms 

 with the inscription round them "Calne Volunteers," and, on a scroll below, the 

 motto " Pro Patria Parentibus et Uxoribus." The other is a Union Jack with 

 "G. III. R." surmounted by a crown, in the centre.
