RFV both senses:
- proponent of the adoption of the Union Jack in one's flag
- citizen within the Commonwealth of Nations
I found three legitimate occurrences, but they're all nonces: they don't refer to any of the above senses and don't add up to an entry. One is someone's pen name in this 1917 newspaper, otherwise unexplained; in this journal it appears to refer to being overly patriotic (" […] I am not a Union Jacker. I deplore the existence or intrusion of nationality in motor-cars. […] But I am exceedingly pleased that an English car should have done it"); in this book it just refers to someone who's holding a physical flag ("'Dear, dear!' sighed the Union Jacker hopelessly, hitching the Grand Old Flag closer round his neck"). —Al-Muqanna المقنع (talk) 23:37, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
