For lasting quality and vibrant colours of the Lest We Forget flag, please follow these care guidelines:
Cleaning:
Gentle Washing: Always wash the flag using a mild detergent to reduce fading. Avoid bleach or any harsh chemicals that could harm the colours.
Machine Wash: If machine washing is necessary, select a gentle cycle with cold water. Place the flag inside a mesh laundry bag to prevent snagging.
Air Drying: Lay the flag flat or hang it to air dry. Refrain from tumble drying, as high heat can shrink or damage the fabric.
Storage:
Proper Storage: Ensure the flag is completely dry before storing it. Keep the flag in a cool, dry, and safe location to prevent moisture damage.
Folding the Lest We Forget Flag:
Position the Flag Flat: Start by placing the Lest We Forget Flag on a flat surface with the design facing up. Ensure that the fabric is smooth and free of wrinkles or creases.
Fold Lengthwise: Fold the flag in half lengthwise, making sure the “Lest We Forget” inscription is visible on the outside. Carefully align the edges for a tidy, even fold.
Make a Second Lengthwise Fold: Fold the flag lengthwise once more, ensuring the nurse design and text remain on the outer side. This additional fold will reduce the flag's width in preparation for the triangular folds.
Start Triangular Folds: Beginning at the hoist side (the side with loops or sleeve), take the bottom corner of the flag and fold it up to create a triangle. Continue making triangle folds across the width of the flag, keeping each fold tight and even.
Proceed with Triangular Folds: Continue the triangular folding process until you reach the end of the flag. Ensure that each triangle is of consistent size and shape to achieve a uniform appearance.
Secure the Final Edge: Once the flag is completely folded into a compact triangle, tuck any loose edges into the fold for security. This will create a tidy, finished look, ready for storage or display.
Handling:
Avoid Sharp Objects: Keep the flag away from sharp objects or rough surfaces that may cause snags or tears.
Secure Installation: Ensure the flag is securely fastened when displayed to prevent unnecessary strain on the fabric.
Minimise Exposure: Bring the flag down during extreme weather conditions or overnight to preserve its condition.
Repairs:
Minor Repairs: For small tears or fraying, consider replacing the flag and taking the damaged one to a professional seamstress for repair.
Replacement: When the flag shows significant wear, it may be time to purchase a new one to maintain its appearance during important occasions.
Flying the Lest We Forget Flag:
Raising the Flag:
When hoisting the Lest We Forget Flag, it should be done with a sense of pride and respect, symbolising honour for those it represents. Raise the flag quickly and securely to the top of the pole. Always ensure that it is firmly attached using durable clips or loops to avoid it becoming loose or tangled.
Displaying the Flag:
The flag should be displayed prominently and respectfully, whether at home, in public areas, or during remembrance events. Make sure it is not obstructed by any objects and never allows it to touch the ground. It is typically showcased during significant remembrance events such as Anzac Day and Remembrance Day, paying tribute to the fallen.
Flying at Half-Mast:
To display the flag at half-mast, raise it fully to the top of the flagpole first, then lower it to a position about one-third down from the top. This action signifies mourning and respect for those who served and sacrificed. On remembrance days like Anzac Day, the flag is flown at half-mast until noon, after which it is raised to full mast for the remainder of the day, symbolising the upliftment of the spirits of the fallen.
Flag Etiquette for Sunrise and Sunset:
Ideally, the flag should be raised at sunrise and taken down at sunset. When lowering it at dusk, do so respectfully and slowly, folding it properly before storage. If the flag is to remain aloft at night, it should be illuminated to ensure visibility and treated with the same level of respect as it receives during daylight hours.
Weather Conditions:
It is advisable to take down the flag during severe weather conditions such as heavy rain, storms, or strong winds. Extreme weather can harm the fabric and affect the flag's appearance over time. By removing it during such conditions, you can help prolong its life and maintain its vibrant colours and structure.
Retirement of the Flag:
When the flag is too worn or frayed to be displayed honourably, it should be retired with dignity. The traditional method for retiring a flag involves burning it in a respectful, private ceremony. If possible, reach out to local veteran organisations or flag disposal services to ensure the flag is retired appropriately, in a manner befitting its significance.
By following these guidelines, your flag will retain its vibrant colours and remain in excellent condition for many years. Caring for your flag is not only about preservation but also about honouring the pride and heritage it represents.
