Recto, [no inscription]; Verso, typed label: 7626//15…Diksmuide, BELGIUM//June 28, 1981…Each June Flemish nationalists made a pilgrimage to / Diksmuide in Flanders to commemorate the Flemish / soldiers who fell in World War I. Fiery rhetoric aimed / at the hated Walloons, the Flemings’ adversaries in / language-torn Belgium, has always been as much a part / of the event as the call for peace among nations. In / recent years the pilgrimage has become a focus for the international Neo-Nazi movement. These stalwart young / men are members of the “Voorpost,” a radical right-wing / Flemish youth organization; stamped: [copyright] / HENNING CHRISTOPH / Kortumstr. 61 / 4300 Essen 1 – Germany / (0201) 79 80 89 / Volksbank Essen 395 070 / Postcheckkonto Essen 1066 29-438; stamped label: [star shape] / Credit: [copyright] 1981 / HENNING CHRISTOPH / from BLACK STAR; typed label: [German inscription]; handwritten: 7626//15
