On March 10, an article (
http://www.army.lk/detailed.php?NewsId=1946) on the official Sri Lankan
Sri Lankan army official website shows a picture (
http://www.army.lk/html/images/image/News%20Features/meeting.jpg) with the
General Sir John Kotelawala Defence University (KDU) flag. The color of the flag
is unknown to me, as well as the lettering showing the name of the University.
The coat of arms of the institution (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:KDA_crest.JPG) is shown in the middle of
the flag.
General Sir John Kotelawala Defence University (KDU) located at
Kandawala, Ratmalana, Colombo, is a joint services academy where cadets of the
three wings Sri Lanka Army, Sri Lanka Navy and Sri Lanka Air Force are trained
before they go for their pre-commission training to their academies. Formerly
The General Sir John Kotelawala Defence Academy, it was renamed as a university
by an amendment bill passed in Parliament on October 11, 2007. It was
established in 1980 and is named after General Sir John Lionel Kotelawala, 3rd
Prime Minister of Ceylon.
