Appliquéd Battalion Flag Asafo: "The crab is feared for its claws"
“The crab is feared for its claws” – this proverb is one of a great many proverbs relating to the symbolism of the crab. In the context of the Asafo, the crab symbolises the fearless warrior. In addition, the word “DANGER” has been appliquéd to the flag in order to reinforce the motif’s message in writing. It is most certainty intended as a warning to the enemy. Author: Doris Kubisch
