Union flag, Indian Army, 1945-1948.
Last Union flag to fly over HQ Bangalore before Partition and the UK withdrawal. 
A special parade had been ordered on 15 August 1947 to salute the new Indian flag. Several senior Indian officers asked Brigadier Eric Langlands for permission to hold a parade in farewell to the Union flag on the 14 August. A special appeal to GHQ Delhi for such a parade was refused and Brigadier Langlands was ordered to personally remove the Union flag under cover of darkness.
