Herr General Posted September 9, 2006 Posted September 9, 2006 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?
Claudio Posted September 10, 2006 Posted September 10, 2006 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

Stijn David Posted September 11, 2006 Posted September 11, 2006 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 Cordial greetings,
Herr General Posted September 13, 2006 Author Posted September 13, 2006 Thanks Stijn for that information. Does anyone have additional information?
