Registered Cultural HeritageContemporary · 1948
Korea Heritage Service · khs.go.krThis is an early flag of the Republic of Korea Army, bearing the newly established army cap badge insignia created in April 1946. When the South Korean National Defense Constabulary was founded in January 1946, its soldiers wore Japanese military uniforms, but a distinctively Korean cap badge was created and adopted; it is this badge, made at that time, that is printed on the flag. Not only is it the only one of its kind to survive, but as the oldest extant army flag it is a relic that symbolically embodies the patriotism, firm solidarity, and history of the Republic of Korea Army.
