![[Flag of Association of Jewish Ex-Servicemen and Women]](../images/g/gb_ajex.gif)
image by Marc Pasquin, 3 January 2016
The Association of Jewish Ex-Servicemen and Women (AJEX) is, as the name
imply, an organisation for Jewish veterans.
The flag above was
reconstructed based on a number of pictures taken during various ceremonies. One
thing that became evident quite quickly is that while the general design is the
same for all (save Leeds), there is a wide number of variations in regards to
the shade of the stripes, proportion and the exact design of the lion in the
logo.
With this in mind, the main difference between most branches is its
name written in the lower white band in either dark blue or red. One flag which
I assume is considered "the" flag of the organisation had the words "NATIONAL
STANDARD" in dark blue on the bottom white band.

I have asked the organization if they possess a distinctive flag.
The Association's coat of arms can be found on their
home page. It appears to
be heraldic in form - perhaps someone can blazon it for me.

This a British organization for individuals who have suffered
emotional or psychological problems (not just combat stress or
battle fatigue) as a result of their service in the British armed
forces. Their logo, in a greatly reduced form, appears on their
home page: it appears to be a square edged in blue, in the center of
which is a Red Cross, while the insignia of the different British
armed services are superimposed upon the Red Cross.

I have today received an e-mail in return from Commodore Toby Elliott, the
Chief Executive of the Ex-Services Mental Health Society (Combat Stress)
informing me that the association was currently in the process of designing a
flag.
