Bemmel former municipal flag

former municipality of Bemmel Shipmate Flagchart : http://www.shipmate.nl/flags.htm

Bemmel is a municipality just south of Arnhem
The flag was adopted 2 June 1961 and derived from the municipal CoA. The rooks are also named 'bemmels', of which the origins seem to lie in very early historic symbols.

Gendt [former municipality]

former municipality of Gendt Shipmate Flagchart : http://www.shipmate.nl/flags.htm

Gendt (also named Gent) is a small old medieval town northeast of Nijmegen, north of the Waal river. The 'd' in the placename probably added to avoid confusion with Belgian Gent.
The flag (adoption date unknown) contains a stylized version of the castle on the municipal CoA, symbolizing the castle of the former lords of Gendt.
