You can see on
line the regimental color of the Portuguese Guinea Provincial Military
Command, wich existed until the independence of Guinea-Bissau in 1975 and
was brought into action in 1961, to fight the local colonial war. (See
also
these
two
English Wikipedia articles.) It is a regular
Portuguese military color, with the usual addition of a white scroll
under the emblem with the name of the unit. In this case, it reads
"COMANDO MILITAR DA PROVÍNCIA DA GUINÉ",
in embroidered capitals, the middle word "da" in half size.
