G. Perrin is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book delves into the origins and evolution of British naval flags, closely examining their significance, usage, and historical context. It aims to fill the gaps in the understanding of these symbols, addressing a subject that has often been overlooked in British maritime history. The opening of the work sets the stage for an in-depth exploration of flags, defining their cultural and functional relevance throughout history. Perrin discusses the historical indifference of the British nation towards its maritime heritage and introduces the necessity of investigating the origins and developments of flags, particularly focusing on British naval flags. He critiques prior works on the topic, specifically highlighting efforts made by a German admiral as a starting point for his own research, and outlines the structure of the forthcoming chapters, which promise to address various aspects of flag history, including their role in naval command and ceremonial usage.
