In any case on a helmet it would be a Union Flag not a Union Jack. It should only be refered to as a Union jack when it is flying from the jack staff of a ship

I did not know that, you would think that some of the countries traditions would be covered during school history lessons, but mine didn't cover much past the iron age.
