While it was officially a naval flag used by Canadian

important to create uniquely Canadian symbols to
represent the country. In 1921, King George V
granted Royal Arms to Canada and the shield of
Canada’s new official coat of arms took its place on the
Canadian Red Ensign. It is this version of the Canadian
Red Ensign that represented Canada during the Second
World War.
