Corps Flag retirement.

[gun runner]

The 774 RCACC has been around for 90+ years,serving the Lake of The Woods area. We are still using the original flag dating to about the mid thirties, needless to say it is showing its age. As a corps we would like to retire this flag, and replace it with a new flag purchased last fall. How do we go about doing this ceremony, as I personally have never retired a flag before.Cato has no reference to any such activities. My wife has volunteered to mount the old flag on linen, then box it into a glass frame. Help!! Ubique

This may or may not answer.  CATO 12-05 refers.

7. The banners specified in paragraph 2. c, d,
e, h and i are not replaced when worn beyond
usable life, but are then deposited, like Colours,
as memorials to the service which the banner
commemorates.

There is a ceremony in Section 5 of the Drill Manual to deposit a flag.  Whether it applies to the Corps Flag is not clear.  However, Corps flags have been deposited.
