Sorry about that--it was pretty late when I posted this.
I've always suspected from Halbarad's comments as they prepare to enter the Paths of the Dead that he knew being Aragorn's first standard bearer marked him for death, and certainly being a standard bearer tended to be a very dangerous position upon the battlefield. That Arwen would have had a vision to this effect seemed both possible and likely, particularly as she was her father's daughter as well as her grandmother's granddaughter.

Yes, poignant indeed!
And thanks so, Barbara!
