What reading level is Our National Flag What It is And What It is Not book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Kingdoms of England and Scotland were united under James I in 1603, and three years later the National Flags of the two countries were united in one for use at sea, thus making the first Union Jack.
The National Flag ot Scotland is a white cross of an X form, on a blue ground (Fig. 2. ) This cross is known as St. Andrew's Cross, St. Andrew being the Patron Saint of Scotland, and the tradition being that he suffered martyrdom on a cross of that shape.
The union of the two National Flags was ...made by placing St. George's Cross over St. Andrew's Cross with its blue ground, the red cross having a white border or edging to prevent the red colour coming next to the blue of the ground. (Fig. 3. ) I There is some uncertainty as to how the term " Jack " came to be applied to the flag.
One explanation given is that the coat worn by soldiers had a red St. George's Cross on the breast and was called a " Jacque " or " Jacke, " and that the flag was called a ''Jack'* because of its design being the same.
