Netherlands Dutch Crown Order
ErikMuller replied to David M's topic in Northern European & Baltic States
Sounds familiar The Crown Order (Kroonorde) is part of the Family Order of Orange and is only awarded to foreigners, this to make the Family Order special to merit Dutch service to the Royal Family. One of the best known recipients is Prince Charles, who wore it as the only foreign royalty during the wedding of Prince William Alexander and Princess Margerita (Prince Charles also holds an GC of the Order of the Netherlands Lion, but then again, we know how the British royal family gets dressed for official state visits: Prince Philip wore the Order of the Leopard of Congo instead of the Order of Leopold of Belgium during a state visit to Belgium. Looking at that the Crown Order instead of the Order of the Netherlands Lion is less painful). During the last state visit to Belgium the GC of the Crown Order was also awarded to the Belgian princesses. The medals are identical to that of the Family Order of Orange. The crosses of the Order itself also, although they are enammeled white instead of red. -
Luxembourg Luxembourg/Belgium border question.
ErikMuller replied to WW2PO's topic in Northern European & Baltic States
Never saw that one! It is most certainly an attractive medal. By the way it's 's-Hertogenbosch, not Herzogenbusch. -
Luxembourg Order of the Oak Crown (Luxembourg)
ErikMuller replied to Carol I's topic in Northern European & Baltic States
Carol, I don't think it's Dutch manufacture because the maker's marks of Moussault, Van Maarseveen or Bron are missing. It could be a Becht-piece however, but I'm not totally sure. 800 euro's sounds like a fair price for an older piece. Cheers, Erik -

Netherlands decorations for the wounded
ErikMuller replied to ErikMuller's topic in Central & Eastern European States
These are all the images I have. Maybe someone else can post images of the Wound Stripe and the other medals of the Union of Netherlands Military War and Service Victims? For those interested in more information, the Union has a website (in Dutch). -

Dear Kev, DutchBat has no active participation in UNIFIL since 1985, so there is still no clasp for this mission on the Commemorative Medal Peacekeeping Operations. Those who participated in UNIFIL from 1979 till 1985 received the Commemorative Medal UN-Peacekeeping Missions, which was abolished on institution of the Commememorative Medal Peacekeeping Operations. For thos wanting to see how these medals looks like, see my website: Commemorative Medal UN-Peacekeeping Operations (1980-2001) Commemorative Medal Multinational Peacekeeping Operations (1982-2001) Commemorative Medal Peacekeeping Operations (2001-present) On the page for the Commemorative Medal Peacekeeping Operations is a picture of a group which has al three medals in it. Although the pages are in Dutch, I'm working on an English language version. Not to much time for it though...

Hi Ed, At least one interested person here! I got these medals (+ a an assortment of what you already posted) from a friend who did a couple of ISAF-missions in Kandahar.
