England is represented by the flag of St. George
- England is represented by the flag of St. George. England’s flag has a white background with a red cross through it. (To me, it looks it the Red Cross symbol.)
- The flag consists of 3 heraldic crosses. It was Richard I (Richard The Lion Heart) of England who introduced the Cross of St. George, in 1194 A.D.
- The reason why it is white with a red cross through it is that that was St. George’s emblem.
- The King’s soldiers wore it on their tunics during a war so that they didn’t kill, or be killed by, their own men.
