I totally agree with the last post, but when the union flag is represented just as a flag on paper, then the normal etiquette assumes the post is on the left, and mostly if not always printed like that,

Oh, and the fact you gave it the correct title, ā€˜Union Flagā€™


As a veteran I'm very particular about the use of Flag or Jack. Flag for land and jack for afloat but it seems I'm not correct.
A bit of a google brings up this


It is sometimes claimed that the Union Flag should be described as the Union Jack only when flown on the bows of a Royal Navy ship.

From its earliest days, the Admiralty often referred to the flag, however it was used, as the Union Jack.

In 1902 an Admiralty Circular announced that either 'Flag' or 'Jack' could be used officially.

On 14 July 1908, a statement was made on behalf of the Government in the House of Lords by the Earl of Crewe in reply to a question asking whether the full Union Jack could be flown on land by every citizen in the Empire.

His answer?

"I think it may fairly be stated... that the Union Jack should be regarded as the National flag, and it undoubtedly may be flown on land by all His Majesty's subjects."

In June 1933, Home Secretary Sir John Gilmour again stated that the Union Jack was the national flag and might be flown by any British subject on land. 110 D250 SE HT
