Summary

Description
English: Flag of Kuwait 1914-1921
Wilfred Nunn states in "Tigris gunboats" (London: Chatham, 2007, p. 33; originally published 1932) that on 6th Nov. 1914 he was in command of the British gunboat "Espiegle" in the Shatt-el-Arab, and fired a shot across the bows of a motor-boat flying the Turkish flag. It proved to be carrying messages from Britain's ally the Sheikh of Kuwait, who was using the same flag as Turkey. When this was pointed out to his messengers, the Kuwait flag was changed to one which had "white Arabic lettering on a red ground, and looks something like an amateur outline drawing of a duck."
