 | | A compromise was reached which resulted in the adoption of the Union national flag late in 1927, which was first hoisted on 31 May 1928. |
 | | This was the socalled Van Riebeeck flag, which was in reality the old Princevlag, orange, white and blue horisontally with the three smaller flags on the white; the British Union Jack towards the hoist, the Orange Free State Vierkleur hanging vertically and the Transvaal Vierkleur towards the fly. |
 | | A further part of the compromise was that the British Union Jack would continue to fly alongside the Union national flag everywhere over official buildings. |
