Flag of Ain-Sefra

Ain-Sefra was the capital of a military district, and a flag used there was reported by Lucien Philippe. This was the vehicle flag, or rather pennant, of General Laperrine. It was swallowtailed and, with inscriptions, was different on its obverse and reverse. The reverse contained the characteristic symbol of Algeria (crescent moon and star) on the center, and cannons, trumpet, hand of Fatima, and bomb on the sides.
