Summary

Description
English: A flag design alleged by the Daily Express to have been put forward as a proposal for a flag of the entire British Empire in 1902. It would have prominently featured the Cross of Saint George to represent the English. An imperial crown in the canton would represent a united empire. In the top right of the field would be the badge or arms of the territory in which the flag would be flown. For this file, the Star of India is used as an example.
