Proctor's Battalion Flag

This flag is associated with Proctor’s Battalion, a Loyalist military unit that served the British Crown during the American Revolutionary War. The design features a red field with a British Union canton and a prominent coiled rattlesnake bearing the motto “Don’t Tread on Me,” a striking example of Revolutionary-era symbolism used by both Patriot and Loyalist forces.

The rattlesnake imagery conveyed vigilance and readiness, while the initials and ornate central device identified the battalion and its allegiance. Flags such as this were used to mark unit identity and command presence in the field and reflect the complex loyalties and internal divisions that characterized the Revolutionary period.

Ideal for collectors, historians, and educational displays, the Proctor’s Battalion flag represents the lesser-known Loyalist side of the American Revolution and the varied meanings early American symbols could carry.
