The flag is anachronistic. The cross of Burgundy was marked down as the carlist flag in the mid-1930s. Ironically, the majority of the Liberal army colours in 1872-76 bore a red ragged saltire. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.142.175.22 (talk) 12:12, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Ramón Cabrera , the Carlist commander from the 1833 war, didn't took part as Liberal commander in the 1872 war. He was by then an affluent exile in Great Britain and has turned his coat, backing Alfonso XII, but that doesn't mean that Cabrera became a Liberal field commander with troops under his command. To begin with, in the 1870s he was rather old (he died in 1877). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.142.175.22 (talk) 10:45, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
