Formation of the Union Jack.
Esplanade, Sidmouth, March 27th, 1852.
Sir,—The annexed may possibly be of use to H. M. in your "Current Notes" for March, but I am not able to refer to the work from which it is taken.
Yours obediently,
W. G. Clarke.
Mr. Willis.
St. George's red cross on a white ground, and St. Andrew's white cross (diagonally) on a blue ground. In 1800, St. Patrick's red cross, on a white ground, was added.
The flag should be constructed to shew the three crosses distinctly.
