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 because that was St. George's emblem.
* The King's soldiers wore it on their tunics during war so that they didn't kill, or be killed by, their own men.
