~~Video Description~~
In an era when armies had evolved to using firearms, many soldiers would stand in their formations not carrying weapons at all! In this case, why would you ever want to bring a flag to a gun fight? And what made “the colours” such an important part of 18th and 19th century warfare? Finally, what purpose do these devices serve even today?
