Corps commander - Unit X, Rawalpindi

[Corps Commander] image by Joe McMillan and António Martins-Tuválkin, 16 November 2016

Car flag - These seem to be flag versions of the corps formation signs. The one I saw was red with a white horizontal stripe slightly above center with a yellow rising sun issuing from the lower edge of the white stripe, 11 rays visible (10th Corps). I also saw a similar red-white-red flag with a black disk on the center inscribed with a white A--not sure what command that would represent.

A couple of weeks ago I reported having seen the car flag of the general officer commanding the Tenth Corps of the Pakistan Army. A little more digging has taught me that the horizontal R-W-R pattern for corps formation signs--and therefore corps commander flags--is traditional for armies with a British heritage. There are also standard patterns for the flags of army or command commanders, divisions, and brigades. These will become more apparent when I turn to more Indian material from Maj Gen Chand Das's book.

Anyway, X Corps, Pakistan Army - The GOC flies a red-white-red horizontal triband with a rising sun issuing from the lower edge of the white stripe. Besides its use on the GOC's automobiles, it would also fly at his headquarters. Other corps commanders would also use red-white-red tribands but with the charges from their respective corps formation signs in lieu of the sunburst.
