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.


The Union Jack.
