Herman's Personal Flag
Like many Vexilollogists, I have my personal flag.
This flag is like it is for the following reasons :
-
4 by 6 blocks refers to the flags of the Provinces of Brabant and
Antwerpen.
My mother's name is Brabant (no relation to the province but rather to a
commune somewhere in France), but I consider myself to be a Brabander (as
opposed to those from accross the water - Flemings)
-
The colours are those of :
-
Wilrijk (where I was born and live), part of Antwerp : blue and yellow
-
Antwerpen : red and white
-
Flanders : yellow and black
-
Wallonia (De Wael means the Walloon, and my paternal grandmother comes from
a family from Liege) yellow and red
-
Belgium : black, yellow, red
-
Europe : blue and yellow
-
France (for my maternal grandfather) : red, white, blue
-
Luxembourg (for my maternal grandmother) : blue, white, red
-
and even Germany (great-grandfather) and Monaco (where my grandmother was
born)
This flag, and many others, can also be seen on a site devoted to the personal
flags of many people :
