Flag of the model of 13.2.1800. Ecru, with in the center an oval of two laurel branches bent downwards, which are held together at the top by a large ribbon of red-white-blue. The white band is wider than the other two. On it stands in golden classical capitals: 3DE BATAILLON, and: 3DE HALVE BRIGADE. In the oval a walking lion in natural color with a three-quarter turned head; in the raised right paw a curved sword with a yellow hilt. He walks in a landscape under a lightly clouded blue sky. Parade side: same oval with laurel branches, ribbon and inscription. On the red oval in golden classical capitals: VOOR HET VADERLAND EN DE WET.
