Kadang regiment

Kadang regiment

I have found a black and white photograph showing the flag of Kadang regiment, the bodyguards of the Dalai lama. The photograph was apparently taken in 1956 since it shows the Dalai lama reviewing Tibetan soldiers alongside the Chinese Prime minister Chen Yi and the Panchen lama. Behind them one can see three flags : the Chinese flag, and two Tibetan flags.
Those two flags show some interesting elements :
- on the first one, there is the same round symbol between the two lions which appears on the flag of Khadang regiment.
- on the other one, one can see a Ka letter above the sun, a pattern similar to the flag of general Derge Se (which I think to be rather the flag of Tadang regiment).
- on these flags, some of the color rays appear very bright, which might suggest the brighter ones are yellow and the darker blue or red.
I wondered if I could have made a reconstructed flag image, but since I know that the colors of these military flags do vary according to the unit, I dropped the idea.
