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).

- Long Membership Medal (10, 25, 40 and 50 years)

There is now aslo something for 60 years of Membership. Maybe you know more about it, Erik.

There's a very ugly standard for 60 years membership. I will upload an image later on.

This one was awarded in march 2008 to a Dutch Army officer wounded in Afghanistan in 2007.
