Overview

Regarding the Taiwanese Army Flag, it can be in three forms:
1. Army Flag - no fringe, no white strip at hoist. Used in parades to represent the army as a whole. It is never hoisted (the national flag is used instead).
2: Army Unit Flag - yellow fringe, white strip with black letters bearing the name of the unit. Parade flag.
3. Army Unit Guidon (in the US sense) - as for (2), but smaller.
None of the flags carry battle honours. All military flags have red flagpole with silver spearhead finial and red tassels immediately underneath (no cord). National flag, however, has white flagpole with golden ball finial.

According to the given source, National Revolutionary Army is the predecessor of current Republic of China Army, which still uses the flag.

As per Army Flags Act 1953.

Army Flags Act was revised in July 1935, and the main revision was to change the proportions from 3:4 to 7:8.
Therefore, this flag was adopted in 1935. The derivatives of the flags were revised again in 1953, but the Army Flag was excluded.

I suspect this was the case but I didn't have the source.

There are three copies of original official documentations in Files Folder.
[The PDF files mentioned above are all for members only!]
1. Chinese Army flags (1929-ca. 1931).
2. Chinese Army flags (ca. 1931-1932; 1934-1935, temporarily abolished on Jan 1st 1933)
3. Chinese Army flags (1935-1953)

Interesting that this document was marked 'Secret' (機密)... no wonder I didn't know the ROC Army flag's proportions were changed in 1935.
