Look at the Photo Gallery under No4 Commando you will find that Stephane has put a photo from Vlissingen on with the flag.
Best wishes.

Found this entry in Commando Association newsletter 19 issued September 1954
The Flag of Flushing, Holland, given to Major L.N. Coulson, MC. when No. 4 Commando liberated the town in 1944, has been presented by him to the Imperial War Museum in London. The Flag now appears in the Commando Corner.
