Flags of the World | Kiribati

Postcard
The flag was designed by Sir Arthur Grimble in 1932 for the Gilbert and Ellice Islands, a British colony.

The Gilbert and Ellice Islands were a British protectorate from 1892 and colony from 1916 until 1 January 1976, when the islands were divided into two colonies which became independent nations shortly after: Kiribati and Tuvalu.
