Canadian Flag WW2

If you can't find a Red Ensign, the current Ontario flag is very close (and few observers know the difference).

It will be hard to find Photos of us Waving Flags . We are not used to it.

That's exactly what I found, same as us in Australia, you see a few flags waved at parades and a few people now put a flag up in their front yard and you see a fair few on Australia Day, but WW2 pictures there is hardly a flag anywhere unless it is on a ship.

Even as proud as I am of my beloved flag, I only put mine out for ANZAC Day.

As an English Colony, I have seen many wartime photos taken in Canada where the use of the Union Jack is very prevalent- no Red Ensigns anywhere to be found...
Specifically, there ate a bunch of pics floating around of new Canadian Army vehicles which were debuted at the CNE ( Canadian National Exposition) in Toronto in the early war years.

Thanks fellas,

When I researched the flag to make sure I was buying the correct colours etc I discovered that some ebay sellers try to sell flags with the small detailed parts the wrong colours. Hopefully I have got it right. I was thinking I should have a current flag to put with the truck at other displays, as there wouldn't be many people in Australia that know the older Canadian flag.

I have a 48 star US flag but it is nice to have confirmation I am on the correct track.

I will have a look at the Ontario flag to compare.

Thanks for your input.

Cheers Ken
