Was our WW2 RED ENSIGN called the THE RED DUSTER as a CANADIAN nickname for our WW2 Canadian Flag ... or a nickname given some other "RED ENSIGN" ???

Thanks ... Karmen

Hi Karmen;

If I'm not mistaken, the 'RED DUSTER' was the Ensign flown by ships of the Merchant Marine (or Merchant Navy).

Cheers
