7 February Was the Day of Sri Lanka Military Forces. I Have Discovered So Many Flags It Is Impossible to Present All These Flags in That Lecture
Vexilobaires 2005 Proceedings of the XXI International Congress of Vexillology (fig.48) 7 February was the day of Sri Lanka Military Forces. I have discovered so many flags it is impossible to present all these flags in that lecture. I have decided to present you a few for each force. ARMY The first meeting was organized in the Sri Lanka Army Headquarters, Baladaksha Mw, where Officer Brigadier Moses, his assistant Captain Mutumala and members of his staff welcomed us offering tea and toasts. I walked to the stadium where all the Army flags were displayed. Later they offered a copy of all these flags (fig 49). (fig.49) You can look at 6 of the 24 flags discovered: -Volunteer Force in the Sri Lanka Army: The flag background is yellow. In the middle there is a Tusker who is in a saluting by holding it's trunk over the head. Tiny white line is encircled the Tusker. There are two cross swords under the Tusker. The sentence "Volunteer Force in the Sri Lanka Army" is stated in the background of the talipot shaped opened book. There is a reason to use yellow and black colours in the flag according to a retired senior army personnel, the kilt Uniform which was worn by the British Highland Battalion in a state where the governor of Sri Lanka at that time, used these yellow and black colours (fig 50).

BRIGADIER LIYANAGE v. CHANDRANANDA DE SILVA SECRETARY, MINISTRY OF DEFENCE AND OTHERS SUPREME COURT AMERASINGHE, J. WIJETUNGA J. AND BANDARANAYAKE. J. S. C. APPLICATION 5 0 6 /9 9 (F. R.) 2"d NOVEMBER, 1999 Fundamental rights - Failure to promote the petitioner as a Major General - Article 12(1) of the Constitution. The petitioner was suspended from duties until the hearing and determination of the "Embilipitiya disapperances case” and he was not considered for promotion pending the court case. Consequently, he was superceded by two other officers. After trial, he was acquitted. Thereafter, the Commander of the Army made a written recommendation to the Secretary, Ministry of Defence (the Is1 respondent) that the petitioner be, inter alia, promoted to the rank of Major General with'effect from 4lh December. 1997 on a supernumerary vacancy on which date the two officers who had superseded the petitioner were promoted to the rank of Major General and thereafter be absorbed into the permanent cadre with effect from 10lh February. 1999 on which date the High Court judgement was delivered. However, the petitioner was not promoted to the post of Major General on the ground that the promotion was not in the best interest of the Army since the petitioner failed to exercise due control over persons who were convicted by court. The petitioner did occupy a place of authority in the chain of command. But so were others above and below him who were nevertheless pro moted. There was also no explanation why a captain Chamarasinghe who had been indicted in the court was promoted with effect from 2"d June 1995 to the rank of temporary major. -
