Terek Host flag was described in Cossack Historical Calendar, 1955, Cleveland (OH). It was also written there that only Don, Kuban and Terek Hosts had specific host flags. Here this Terek Host flag is described as well http://www.vexillographia.ru/russia/modcosak.htm
Janis found no convincing information that Terek Host had a specific flag during the Russian Civil war.
