Lady Annette Elizabeth McClintock |
| Description |
English: Union Flag A sledge flag used during Nares' Arctic expedition in 1875. It was embroidered by Lady McClintock for Albert Hastings Markham, and was flown by him on HM sledge 'Marco Polo' which achieved the record furthest north 83˚ 20´26˝ in May 1876. The sledge flag is in the form of a silk, hand-sewn union jack with roses, thistles and shamrocks representing Scotland, Ireland and England, embroidered in the centre. The word 'GOD' is embroidered above these symbols of the United Kingdom, with 'Queen' and 'COUNTRY' on either side —all in white gothic letters. The flag has a tasselled cord attached. |
