Throughout history, standard bearers have proudly carried the symbols of power, unity, and identity for various armies and communities. From the Roman Ermine Street Guard's column led by their flag-bearers, to the vibrant colors of the French Army's flags, and the ceremonial processions of Roman generals and their legions, they have played a significant role in shaping historical narratives. They accompanied diplomatic missions, such as the Sixth Korean Embassy to Japan during the Tokugawa Ietsuna era, and represented various cultures, including German costumes from the 1600s and the musicians and standard-bearers of a Saracen army on the march. Even in the context of trade, the Dutch East India Company's Hooghly trading post displayed their distinctive flag. Standard bearers continue to be a part of our rich and diverse heritage, symbolizing the strength and resilience of the human spirit.
