In World War 2 there were three flags around -- the blue ensign, the red ensign, and a white ensign (on which the stars were coloured blue).

The red ensign flag, is a red flag with the British union flag in the upper quadrant nearest the flag pole (hoist). It is used on British registered merchant vessels, to identyfy the nationality and flown at the stern. Foreign vessels visiting UK waters, fly the red ensign on the starboard side of the mast, as a courtesy flag. The UK is one of a few countries who have a different flag from their national one, for use at sea. The red ensign may have a badge, or symbol, added in the main part of the flag (known as defacing) for special uses and identities. For example, the Isle of man merchant flag, has the three leg symbol on the red ensign.
