Just to make sure that I have this correct in my brain, St George's Cross is the white flag with the red cross correct? I will go out on a limb and say that most Americans would associate the Union Jack as the British flag.

That's right the white flag with the red cross is England's St George's flag, Scotland have a blue flag with a white diagonal cross, Northern Ireland's flag is white with a diagonal red cross, so together they make the Union Jack. Wales has a dragon on they national flag, which isn't included on the national Union Jack. That seems as clear as mud !!!!
