SAVA Journal 5/96 (31 December 1996) [aLL96]
illustrates and discusses the flag of the Rhodesia Prison Service on page 137.
It was a dark green
flag, proportions 2:1 with the badge of the Prison Service in the centre.
The badge consists of a yellow lion with red tongue and white claws, standing
on a white bar. The background color of the circle in which the lion stands
is also light green. Above the circle is a yellow Zimbabwe Bird
as crest,
outlined in dark brown. At the base of the circle are red and yellow flames.
The circle is surrounded by the words "Rhodesia Prison Service" in white,
with a white border, the lines of the circle in black. Through the centre
of the badge [vertically] is a sword in a sheath inlaid in silver and gold
with a black point. The guard and pommel of the sword are gold and the
hilt black and white.
