The flag of Colombian Amazon Conflict Veterans is located at:
the online official
website of the Military Forces General Command.
The Colombian Amazone Conflict refers to an armed border dispute
between Colombia and Peru, between 1932 and 1933. For further
reference please see:
Wikipedia.
It is a rectangular flag, horizontally divided into three equal
stripes, top white, middle black and bottom red. My best guess is
that the inscription in golden capital letters is
VETERANOS DEL CONFLICTO
INTERNACIONAL DEL AMAZONAS
1932 1933
Between the dates "1932" and "1933" there is
a map of Colombia in yellow (50%) on top, blue (25%) on the
middle and red (25%) on the bottom. There is also a pair of
crossed boughs in the lower stripe.

There seems to be an additional flag for these Veterans which displays the
same pattern as the Infantry School plus the lion
rampant so one may consider this a proper flag for Infantry tropos who fought in
that conflict, although I'm not aware of its specifications nor when it began to
be used de facto/de iure. Below, in the white hexagon it features the
inscription "CONFLICTO" (Conflict) and below "AMAZÓNICO" (Amazonian), both in black capitals.
This seems, however to be a generic
flag. That is: based on a modern yet previously existing pattern, to
superimpose elements to symbolize previous participations in past conflicts,
since the badge used on the flag is that of the Batallón (de Infanterķa)
Colombia (Infantry Battalion "Colombia"), more precisely its
modernized emblem.
