Description: | Double-sided linen banner painted with a coloured bust of Vice-Admiral Horatio Nelson (1758-1805) and the inscription 'HERO of the NILE'. The banner has a red silk border, red tassels at the corners and is designed to hang from a crossbar. The design is painted on both sides and the flag is hand-sewn with machine-sewn repairs. A cord with two tassels is attached.
Also a packet of silk fragment found with W80-71.15 Nelsons - but fragments not from this flag possibly from AAA0828/9.
