The White Cross ( Army Colonel's Regimental Flag or Drapeau Blanc)consisted of the white Bourbon cross sewed onto a squared 1.8 meter white flag. It was the Colonel's personal standard to show authority of the king and to mark his place in camp or battle. At any distance it could appear as just a one piece white banner and may be mistakenly described as such by some. The Colonel's flag was made of silk (ii)(iii)(iv). The Marine companies would not have this flag since their officer was of army captains equivalent rank. Source: http://www.geocities.com/brigman2000/flags2.html
