The Sons of the Revolution is a patriotic organisation in the United States
that promote the study of the US Revolutionary War as well as maintain a few
historical sites associated with it.
The society was created in the 1876
century by members of the Society of the Cincinnati
who wished to extend the
membership beyond the eldest descendants of individual officers of the
continental army.
In 1889, the society suffered a schism of its own with
a number of members leaving over matters of membership requirements and branches
hierarchy and establishing The Sons of the American Revolution.
The two
flags here share the same basic design being gold-blue-gold vertically divided
with the organisation's logo centered. The first is based on the image of a
table flag that was sold on one of the SOR's website which has the vertical
bands of equal width while the second, seen only in drawing form, is instead a
Canadian pale with the name of the organisation above the logo and the state's
name below based on which I would assume that similar flags are used during
parade by the various chapters.
