Why does a country have a union Jack in her flag?
Correctly it's the Union Flag, comprising the crosses of St George, St Andrew and St Patrick, representing three of the countries of the UK. It is technically only a "Jack" when flown at the jackstaff (at the bows) of a ship. (Not quite) "The original Union Flag was introduced in 1606 as a maritime flag, and in 1634 a Royal Proclamation laid down that the Union Flag was reserved for His Majesty's Ships of War and forbid merchant ships to wear it.......... It is quite clear that the name Union Jack was the name given to the distinguishing flag of His Majesty's Ships, and that it is proper to call this flag a Union Jack when flying in a ship, but this flag which was formerly purely maritime is now used as the National flag of Britain and some consider that it is incorrect to call it a Union Jack when it is not flying in a ship and that when flying ashore it should be called the Union Flag. Strictly this view may be correct, and there would be no doubt as to its correctness if the flagused were the 1900 War Office pattern, but this is not so, and the flag that is seen in Britain flying from the Houses of Parliament and other public buildings is the pattern adopted by the Royal Navy. Furthermore, it has been called the Union Jack in modern times in Parliament and so by common useage it is considered that it IS CORRECT to call this flag, which is to all intents the National flag of the United Kingdom, the UNION JACK . It would also appear that the 1900 War Office version should not be called the Union Jack; in fact it is generally known as the 'Gret Union Flag'."
