WIG-WAG CODE
Signalling by wig-wag is carried on by waving a flag in certain ways, represented by the figures 1, 2 and 3, and thus letters are made and words spelled.
Two wig-wag flags are used, one a square white flag with a red square in the center, and the other a square red flag with white square in the center.
Only one flag is used in signalling, and that one is selected which can best be seen against the boy's background.
