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

1. Cleaning:
   • Gentle Washing: Always use a mild detergent to wash the flag to minimise fading. Avoid bleach or 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 protect it from snagging.
   • Air Drying: Lay the flag flat or hang it to air dry. Avoid tumble drying, as high temperatures can shrink or damage the fabric.
2. Storage:
   • Proper Storage: Ensure the flag is completely dry before storing it. Keep the flag in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture-related damage.
3. Folding the Lest We Forget Flag:
   • Position the Flag: Start by placing the Lest We Forget Flag on a flat surface, ensuring the design is facing upwards. Smooth out any wrinkles or creases to create a tidy appearance.
   • First Lengthwise Fold: Fold the flag in half lengthwise, ensuring the “Lest We Forget” inscription is visible on the outside. Align the edges carefully to achieve a straight and even fold.
   • Second Lengthwise Fold: Fold the flag in half lengthwise once more, keeping the design and inscription on the outer side. This will create a narrower shape, setting the stage for the triangular folds.
   • Initiate Triangular Folds: Begin at the hoist side (the side with the loops or sleeve) and fold the bottom corner of the flag upwards to create a triangle. Continue folding the triangle across the width of the flag, ensuring each fold is tight and uniform.
   • Continue Triangular Folding: Keep repeating the triangular folding process until you reach the flag's end. Ensure that each triangle is consistently sized and shaped for a cohesive look.
   • Secure the Final Edge: Once you have folded the entire flag into a compact triangle, tuck any loose edges into the folds to secure it. This will result in a neat, finished presentation, ideal for storage or display.
4. Handling:
   • Avoid Sharp Objects: Keep the flag away from sharp items or rough surfaces that could cause snags or tears.
   • Secure Installation: Ensure the flag is firmly attached when displayed, avoiding unnecessary stress on the fabric.
   • Minimise Exposure: Remove the flag during severe weather or overnight to help maintain its condition.
5. Repairs:
   • Minor Repairs: For small tears or fraying, consider repairing the flag yourself or consult a professional seamstress for assistance.
   • Replacement: If the flag shows significant wear, it's advisable to purchase a new one to preserve its appearance during important events.

Flying the Lest We Forget Flag:

• Raising the Flag:
  When raising the Lest We Forget Flag, it should be done with a brisk and purposeful motion to convey pride and respect. The flag should be swiftly hoisted to the top of the pole, ensuring a secure attachment with strong clips or loops to prevent it from loosening or tangling.
• Displaying the Flag:
  The flag ought to be showcased in a prominent and respectful location, whether at home, in public areas, or during remembrance events. Make sure it is unobstructed by other objects and does not touch the ground. It is typically displayed during significant remembrance occasions like Anzac Day and Remembrance Day, honouring those who have fallen.
• Flying the Flag at Half-Mast:
  To fly the flag at half-mast, first raise it fully to the top of the flagpole and then lower it to a position about one-third of the way down. This act signifies mourning and respect for those who have served and sacrificed. On remembrance days such as Anzac Day, the flag is kept at half-mast until noon and then raised to full mast for the rest of the day to symbolise the uplifting of the spirits of the fallen.
• Flag Etiquette at Sunrise and Sunset:
  Ideally, the flag should be hoisted at sunrise and lowered at sunset. When bringing it down at dusk, do so with respect and care, folding it properly for storage. If the flag is to remain displayed overnight, it should be illuminated, ensuring it is visible and treated with the same level of respect as during the day.
• Weather Considerations:
  It is advisable to lower the flag during severe weather events such as heavy rain, storms, or strong winds. Adverse weather can damage the fabric and diminish the flag's appearance over time. Taking it down during such conditions helps prolong its lifespan and preserve its colours and integrity.
• Flag Retirement:
  When the flag is no longer suitable for respectful display due to wear or fraying, it should be retired with dignity. The traditional method for flag retirement involves burning it in a private, respectful ceremony. Whenever possible, consult local veteran organisations or flag disposal services to ensure the flag is retired appropriately, reflecting its significance.

By following these guidelines, your flag will retain its vibrant colours and stay in excellent condition for years to come. Caring for your flag is essential not just for preservation but also for honouring the pride and heritage it embodies.
