English: This is a recreation of a flag that was distributed as a souvenir at the British Empire Exhibition. It combines the symbols of various nations from across the British Empire. The Cross of Saint George representing the English divides the flag into four quadrants, and the Union Flag is placed in the canton. Canada, Australia, and South Africa have their coats of arms placed in the three corners of the flag left free. New Zealand is represented by the four stars forming a Southern Cross, and the British Raj is provided with the Star of India in the center of the flag. The exact specifications for constructing this flag are unclear due to it fading into obscurity over the years, and there is no way of knowing who designed it originally.
