Some more info. This Lackey retired from his service to the court in 1934. Could the unknown word have something to do with him receiving the document years after receiving the medal?

For a lot of Europeans the hammer and sickle stand for a dark time in history with 50 + millions of deaths. I can understand why some people would rather see the hammer and sickle go!

The Royal House Archive told me that Beekes served from 1901 untill 1934. After the dead of the Queen Mother several servants received the House Order, beekes wasn't among them.
What I find strange is the fact that he got the Belgium award 4 years after his retirement....

Maybe it is after the funeral of the old Kaiser in Holland?

Why did they receive this order? If I may ask?
edit, forgot to use the quote function. I ask this about the friends of Mike who received the Order of Villa Vicosa.

Hi Erik, Could you show us some of your collection when you are settled in again ?

But I'm wondering about why he didn't get any houseorder medal....
Nowadays, since 1969, the order of loyalty and merit/service is awarded in two grades for 25 and 40 years of service.
But then, they must have had something else to get from the royal house....
perhaps, Eric could learn us more about now and then within the house-order.........???
Kind regards,
Jacky
From what I can see now he served from 1908 (photo taken as a lackey on age 28) untill 1938 (received the Belgium medal for servants of foreign courts).

This is mister John Snackers, veteran and chairman of the Vomarns ( Vereniging oud Mariniers ). He is also active in a few organisations like the L'?toile du Bien et du M?rite", Interallied Military Organisation Sphinx and the Unie van Nederlandse Veteranen. Most of his decorations are from those organisations.

Thanks, I used photoshop.

Thanks for the comments, I also think that he served to short for any other medals/decorations.
Here's Beekes in the back (left person) (during a visit to Valkenberg in 1923 )
Does anyone know when he got the medal from Luxembourg? Was there a state visit in those years? I have no documents about this medal. Erik, do you know where I could find the KB about this?

Lippe was rulled in those days (wwI) by the family Lippe-Biesterfeld. Could there be some connection with the Prince who married the Dutch Crown Princess?

Herr General,
Very cool bar (WW1). A diplomat perhaps?
Jacky,
Thanks for the info.
It could be a diplomat who was a soldier during ww1, but it is also possible that it was from a Police officer (Police could receive the Mobilisation Medal) in a large city where foreign state visits took place.

I recently donated some items to the Royal House Archive and am in contact with the head of that department. I will try to inform about the lists of this medal!

Could someone translate this French text?

I think that this is the only possibility since this lackey retired 4 years before the document was made.
