History

The national flag of the United Kingdom is the Union Flag, also known as the Union Jack.

The "thin green line" is a term that typically refers to the concept of paramedics as the line which keeps society safe in a medical emergency. The "green" in "thin green line" refers to the green colour of the uniforms of paramedics.

The phrase originated as The thin Red line, an allusion to the British infantry regiment The thin red line during the Crimean war in 1854, wherein the regiment of Scottish Highlanders -wearing red uniforms - famously held off a Russian cavalry charge.
