Every man to his colours / each under his own flag

Every man to his colours / each under his own flag

Each person according to the social group to which he belongs (the origin of the expression is apparently in the flag that was raised at the head of each camp).

("And the children of Israel shall camp, every man by his own camp, and every man by his own standard, throughout their hosts" - Numbers 1:52 (description of the Israelites in the wilderness), and: "And the bands of rejoicing shall camp in his heart, each man under his flag / and all the people returned, each to his own tent" - Immanuel the Roman (13th century) / The Inheritance)
