Afghan flags 19th century ?

[zebra55]

Hello,

  did the Afghan army  use flags  during there various 19th century wars ?

 The national flag in 1919(3rd Anglo-Afghan war) was black with a white wreath and national mosque symbol.

 Hi,

 if you can find it then the following issues of "The Heliograph" can help-

vol 55 page 2 , vol 58 pages 3-4, 9-10. Uniforms  and flags of the Afghan army article.

I came to this thread late as I am seeking the same information as the OP.  I found out I can order both The Heliograph back issues by writing to Bob Burke at burker1@aol.com. I think he has most The Heliograph and Savage and Soldier back issues in fact since he compiled indices (which he'd be happy to send you via email) for both.
