[edit] Flag of the Assyrians during WWI
The Assyrian flag between 1913 and 1923 resembled the flag of Switzerland. It consisted of a red background, indicating the blood spilled by the Assyrians during World War I, and a white cross. The top left corner contained a round seal, which was Agha Petros's personal stamp. The seal had his name on it in two languages (Assyrian and Russian). The flag was used by the Assyrian Levies during WWI.
