    German Dutch Medal of honour winner


    Recommended Posts

    found this picture of a frackspange online, ( can't remember where!) the last two decorations are Dutch.

    The one with the crown is the militaire Willemsorde (military order of William) the highest Dutch decoration for valour. And the last one is the Ereteken voor Belangrijke Krijgsbedrijven with a clasp probably saying "N.Guinea 1907-1915". Who could this man be?

    Herr General!

    I saw this bar on the last two Hermann Historica's Auctions. The first time the bar wasn't sold and I am not so sure if in the next auction has been sold. From the description I think to remember that the bar came with some documents and very likely the name of the medal bar's recipient.

    Ciao,

    Claudio

    Documentation on the Militaire Willems orde is really extensive. Looking him up would not be a difficulty at all. In my local library, I only have tha 1940< though (there are basically 2 volumes, one before and one after WWII)

    Thank you Claudio for your reaction. Found him. It is sold!

    Hello,

    I asked last year at HH to give some additional info, as far as i do remember this MWO was awarded towards the soldier (he was a Uffz. at that point with the Dutch forces in indonesia) for :

    Killing a important resistance leader in Atjeh.

    Can't remember the name anymore. Nice bar for sure and a hard award to get :o

    Cordial greetings,
