Please note that the flag of the Grand Master of the (Sovereign Military) Order of Malta
(as illustrated above) carries a true Maltese cross, however, the flag of the Order shows
a plain white cross throughout on red, so the Editors suggest a degree of caution before
using this phrase – see ‘cross throughout’.

b) Later variants may be based upon a Latin rather that a Greek Cross as
in the example shown below (see ‘Latin cross’).
