Belgisch Dagblad

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Het Belgisch Dagblad ('The Belgian Daily') was a Dutch-language daily newspaper published in The Hague, Netherlands, from 1915 to 1918.[1] Het Belgisch Dagblad was the organ of the Flemish Patriotic League, an organization of Flemish residents in the Netherlands who defended the notion of a unitary Belgian state. The newspaper repeatedly declared its loyalty to the government in Le Havre.
