Anzac Day marching banner : Z Special Unit
Description
Banner of cream polished cotton edged with gold fringe. The words 'Cloak and Dagger' and 'Special' appear at the top and bottom in pale blue, white and silver braid. In the centre is a red letter 'Z' with a black dagger through it. The side seams of the banner are open at the bottom, forming pockets to accept the carrying poles. In the edges of the letter 'Z' are two reinforced ventilation holes to prevent the banner from acting as a sail in high winds.
