The army flag differs from the
state flag
only by its ratio (2:3 vs. 1:2)
António Martins, 16 Feb 1999
"During the Cisplatine War (also known as Guerra del Brasil, Guerra
argentino-brasileña and Guerra rioplatense-brasilera) a naval engagement tool
place on June 11, 1826 in Buenos Aires where Admiral (then Coronel Mayor de
Marina) William Brown (also known in Spanish as Guillermo Brown) beat the
Brazilian forces. For this action, a guidon was presented on July 3, 186 by
distinguished ladies of Buenos Aires in honor of the great feat. It was later
used by Brown as his own insignia in later military actions. It is located at
the Museo Histórico Nacional and its measures are 440 mm by 400 mm. The top and
the botom stripes are navly blue, and the middle stripe is white with the emblem
in the midle. The emblem bears the inscription in gold script letters "11 , de
Junio, de , 1826" between laurel and myrtus. The current "Reglamento de
Ceremonial Naval" (Navy Ceremonial Guidebook) (R.G-1 921 “P”) in its Annex 10
describes it as a commemorative flag".
