Recto, [no inscription]; Verso, typed label: 7352//16A / In Fouron-le-Comte’s-Gravenvoeren (even the name is divided / into a French and Flemish portion), a special unit of Flemish / police protects a Flemish café from angry Walloon demonstrators. / The café next door is, incidentally, Walloon. / The French-speaking demonstrators carry banners with / the rooster, symbol of Wallonie, and “FDF”—Democratic Front / of the French-Speaking People of Brussels. The Brusselers (?) / often carry their fight for the language of their choice to / this area in eastern Belgium, where many small towns with / Walloon majorities have been incorporated into Flemish-speaking / Flanders.
