Medal of the Orde van Oranje-Nassau
Herman replied to JohanH's topic in Northern European & Baltic States
Also, online a database can be found where you can search by name. The site is: www.nationaalarchief.nl and then the link to Kanselarij der Nederlandse Orden (Chancellery of Dutch Orders). I could only find one Holmstrom: Carl Otto Holmstrom who received a silver medal in the House Order of Orange. Unfortunately this database is not complete and it lacks the last 30-ish years.

Laurentius, I checked my own records, the Ritterkreuz is awarded to 19 Dutch recipients. Furthermore I found 4 Dutch recipients of the Ritterkreuz with Crown, 5 Honor crosses, 1 Grand Commander and 8 Grand Crosses. I am sure I missed a few. I have in my collection a set of three awarded to a Dutch officer identified to Colonel Clavareau. Regards Herman

The set of Major-General Nico Tack. A highly decorated Dutch War veteran including WW2, the Dutch Indies and Korea. I met him in person in the eighties. A gentleman. Sadly he passed away a few years back. -
Honorary EKII 1914 to a foreigner?
Herman replied to Kvart's topic in Germany: All Eras: The Iron Cross
The Dutch military attaché, a neutral country in WW1, also received a EK2 on a combattant ribbon. His successor also. In total I found 4 Dutch officers who received a WW1 EK2. All issued on combattant ribbons. Regards Herman -

Sorry Dave, it is not de Kruijff. You show two cards of two different E. De Kruijff. Look at the different dates of death. Captain E. De Kruijff awarded with the Griffin order died on June 4th, 1912. I searched all kind of officerslists and identified 15 Dutch officers who got a Knight in the Griffin Order. De Kruijff is one of them, but he died before he received the Officerscross, so no match. After checking the medal entitlement of these 15 officers, 2 remained. The others got more and even much more awards. The 2 remaining officers are: - Colonel E.P.M. Clavareau - Major-General H.Z.A. van de Roemer The missing medal is therefore an Officer in the Order of Orange-Nassau with the swords as both received it. Van de Roemer also received a Knight in the Order of the Dutch Lion, but that was less than 2 months before his death in 1928. I don't think it went in his medalset, of which I couldn't find proof he had one. My guess is Colonel Clavareau as I found a picture of him wearing a set of 3 medals. A blurry picture and the medals are difficult to see, but it is proof he wore them. My money is on him. I add two pictures. The first one is van de Roemer, the second one is the blurry one of Colonel Clavareau. Regards Herman
