A rectangular Union Jack flag, the right half of which is missing. The Union Jack is made from strips of textile joined together with machine stitching. The top and bottom edges are hemmed. A strip of white textile is stitched to the left/pole edge to form a tube, which contains a rope which is stitched in position at the top, middle and bottom of the flag. There is a metal hook at the top, and a length protruding from the bottom with a metal hook at the end. There is metal eyelet in the centre of the tube. There are traces of printed text on the tube, but it is not legible.
