If by "British flag" you mean the Union Flag (called the Union Jack when flown on a ship), the flag of the United Kingdom they are a combined version of the cross of St George, the cross of St Andrew and the cross of St Patrick.
However before 1801, when the United Kingdom was formed, there was a version with just the English St George Cross and the Scottish St Andrew Cross. This could be said to be the British Flag.
The red cross on the top represents the Cross of Saint George.
The white cross on the bottom is the Cross of Saint Andrew.
The red cross in the middle is the Cross of Saint Patrick.
