Flag: Yellow with a blue diagonal from hoist-top to fly-bottom of 1/3 flagheight;
the diagonal charged with the pen from the arms.
The homepage of the tiny village of Foudgum in the municipality of
Dongeradeel is at: http://www.nofriesland.nl/foudgum/ It contains the flag and Coat of Arms, which have been inspired by the 19th
century writer François Haverschmidt (AKA Piet Paaltjens), who was
the village vicar (dominee) 1859-1862, hence the pen. The blue diagonal
bar is for the road from Dokkum to Holwerd (and Ameland), which cuts the
village in two.
