FLAG made of tricolor fabric, embroidered on one side with t - Lot 104
FLAG made of tricolor fabric, embroidered on one side with the Sacred Heart of Jesus, edged with gold fringe. Circa 1917 87 x 110 cm (stains) Note: Devotion to the Sacred Heart reached its peak in 1917 across all branches of the army. Insignia, pennants, and flags circulated at the front by the millions, widely distributed by the Catholic community in France. Some leagues had hundreds of thousands of pennants and banners made, featuring the Sacred Heart, intended for the troops, which the Sacred Heart Insignia Society shipped free of charge via postal packages—labeled “linen” or “canned goods”—to military chaplains, mobilized priests, and certain officers. On the other hand, several officers, on the recommendation of religious authorities, were reportedly attempting to consecrate their units to the Sacred Heart through an act that constituted a flagrant violation of their men’s freedom of conscience and the religious neutrality of the French state.
