Excerpt from Soldiers of the Church: The Story of What the Reformed Presbyterians (Covenanters) Of North America, Canada, and the British Isles, Did to Win the World War of 1914-1918 The beautiful Service Flag that was In general use during the war - "Dear little flag In the window there, Hung with a tear and a woman's prayer," was thought out by Robert L. Quelsser, of Cleveland, Ohio, and from It came the suggestion of the distinctively Covenanter Service Flag, a reproduction of which forma our Frontispiece. Our first thought was merely to preserve a list.of American Covenanters In military service. The Service Flag was an afterthought at a more convenient form In which to preserve a permanent record of the Church's war and relief work. But the war work of the Church grew to such dimensions that the necessity for this volume soon became manifest.
