Anti-Japanese Peoples Guerilla Army

Cleaning up my bookshelves I dug up a May 1991 issue of a North Korean magazine with an interesting flag shown in an article: Kim Jong Im: "Immortal history - On the Road of National Liberation", in "Democratic People's Republic of Korea", nr. 5/1991 (421)

The photo by the article shows a flag displayed in some museum, and it is captioned: "The flag held up when President Kim Il Sung proclaimed the founding of the Anti-Japanese People's Guerilla Army."

The flag is a red rectangular cloth, nowadays slightly worn out, inscribed with the golden-yellow letters.

The text of the article states that the AJPGA was formed on 25 April 1932, as the first Juche-oriented revolutionary armed force of the Korean people, and was in March 1934 reorganized into Korean Peoples Revolutionary Army (KPRA).
