Flag of Malta
The Flag of Malta is a basic bi-colour, with white in the hoist and red in the fly -- the banner of the arms of Malta. Tradition states that the colours of the flag were given to Malta by Count Roger, in 1091; however, this allegation is only a legend developed through time.
In the upper hoist corner (in the Canton of the white stripe) is the George Cross (outlined in red) - an honour awarded to the entire Maltese population for their exceptional bravery and gallantry during World War II.
