For lasting quality and vibrant colours of the Lest We Forget flag, please follow these care guidelines:

1. Cleaning:
   • Gentle Washing: Use a mild detergent when washing the flag to prevent fading. Avoid bleach or any harsh chemicals that may damage the vibrant colours of the flag.
   • Machine Wash: If machine washing is necessary, select a gentle cycle with cold water. Place the flag inside a mesh laundry bag to avoid snagging.
   • Air Drying: Lay the flag flat or hang it up to air dry. Avoid tumble drying, as the heat can shrink or damage the fabric.
2. Storage:
   • Proper Storage: Ensure the flag is fully dry before storing. Keep it in a cool, dry place away from moisture to avoid damage.
3. Folding the Lest We Forget Flag:
   • Lay the Flag Smoothly: Place the flag flat on a clean surface with the design facing upwards. Ensure there are no wrinkles or creases for a smooth start.
   • First Lengthwise Fold: Fold the flag in half lengthwise, making sure that the "Lest We Forget" wording is still visible. Align the edges carefully for a neat, even fold.
   • Second Lengthwise Fold: Fold the flag lengthwise again, ensuring the nurse and text remain outwardly visible. This step narrows the flag, preparing it for the triangular folds.
   • Initiate Triangular Folds: Starting from the hoist end (the side with loops or a sleeve), fold the bottom corner diagonally to form a triangle. Continue this fold along the width of the flag.
   • Complete Triangular Folds: Keep folding the flag in triangular shapes until you reach the top. Maintain consistent, tight folds to ensure a uniform appearance.
   • Secure the Final Edge: Once the flag is fully folded into a triangle, tuck any loose edges neatly into the folds to secure it, leaving a clean, compact shape ready for storage or display.
4. Handling:
   • Avoid Sharp Objects: Keep the flag away from sharp objects or rough surfaces to prevent snags or tears.
   • Secure Installation: When displaying the flag, ensure it is properly secured to avoid undue strain on the fabric.
   • Minimise Exposure: To maintain its condition, take the flag down during extreme weather or overnight.
5. Repairs:
   • Minor Repairs: If small tears or fraying appear, replace the flag and consider having the damaged flag repaired by a professional seamstress.
   • Replacement: When significant wear is noticeable, it’s best to replace the flag to maintain its quality during important occasions.

Flying the Lest We Forget Flag:

• Raising the Flag:
  When hoisting the Lest We Forget Flag (Nurse Edition), raise it with speed and purpose to honour those it represents. Ensure the flag is securely fastened to the pole using reliable clips or loops to prevent it from slipping or becoming tangled.
• Displaying the Flag:
  The flag should be displayed in a prominent and respectful location, whether at home, in public spaces, or at remembrance events. It should not be obstructed by any objects, and it must never touch the ground. It is often flown on key remembrance occasions such as Anzac Day and Remembrance Day to pay tribute to those who served.
• Flying the Flag at Half-Mast:
  To lower the flag to half-mast, first raise it fully to the top of the pole, then gently lower it to a point about one-third from the top. This position is a symbol of respect and mourning for the fallen. On remembrance days like Anzac Day, the flag is flown at half-mast until noon, after which it is raised to full height to represent the rising spirits of those who sacrificed.
• Flag Etiquette During Sunrise and Sunset:
  The flag should be raised at sunrise and lowered at sunset with care. Lower it slowly and respectfully at the end of the day, and fold it properly before storing it. If the flag is to remain flying overnight, it should be illuminated so it remains visible and continues to be treated with honour.
• Weather Conditions:
  Take down the flag during severe weather such as heavy rain, storms, or strong winds, as extreme conditions can damage the flag’s fabric and colours. Protecting the flag from harsh weather helps preserve its integrity and extend its life.
• Retirement of the Flag:
  When the flag becomes worn or frayed, retire it in a dignified manner. The traditional method involves burning the flag privately and respectfully. Contact local veteran groups or flag disposal services for guidance on proper flag retirement.

By following these care guidelines, your flag will remain vibrant and in excellent condition for years to come. Caring for your flag honours both its significance and the memories it represents.
