Empire Day Commonwealth flag sent to England from Australia
A flag sent to the boys and girls of Blackley Municipal School, Manchester by the pupils of Wellington Road School, Adelaide and unfurled on Empire Day by Sir Frederick Cawley, Liberal M.P. for the Prestwich division of SE Lancashire. The pictures of the kangaroo and emu are watercolours painted by Mr. W. Webster Hoare, an old colonial artist. Empire Day was instigated by the Earl of Meath and celebrated on Queen Victorias birthday, May 24th each year. The day was focused on children and aimed to educate them about the Empire and emphasise the bonds between nations within the British Empire.
