From my link

This is a reproduction of the Spanish Republican flag with the text 35 Division, 15 Brigada Internacional, size 3 feet x 5 feet, flag has both a pole sleeve and two grommets for flying from a flag pole.

In the Autumn of 1937 each of the International Brigades were presented with a flag at the Calderon Theatre in Madrid in a ceremony to celebrate the 1st anniversary of the formation of the International Briagdes.This is a depiction of that flag representing the English speaking 15th Brigade which included English, Irish, American, Canadian and Commonwealth volunteers.
'The 35th Division (Spanish: 35.ª División)[1] was a division of the Spanish Republican Army in the Spanish Civil War.

This unit was established in March 1937 in order to gather certain scattered units of the International Brigades under one command, therefore it was also known as the 35th International Division.'

It was the flag of left wingers who went to Spain in the civil war to fight against fascism (Franco).

It is the flag of left wingers who believe they are fighting fascism.

Thank you all.
Sort of made up
the central motif is of the Spanish Habsburgs
with bits around the side

sort of spanith rent a crowd - nothing like recycling a motif

Spanish civil war neither side was shy of shooting the other side wholesale and in large numbers which I think Colston never did
You're welcome.
