The other flag carried by the battalion color party is the Red Ensign of the royal navy. This was issued to all the colonial units to help identify them as British.

The first of the new colors presented to the battalion this weekend is the original battle flag of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Notice the pine tree in the upper corner of the flag. This flag is a copy of the oldest known colonial battle colors.
New for this season, the battalion has received new colors and a small ceremony was held to retire the old colors. Rum and pay was promised to the men. Huzzah!
