saxcob Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Indeed, Frans van Lennep (Amsterdam, 14 June 1890 - Bentveld, 15 April 1980) was “kamerheer” to both Queen Wilhelmina and Queen Juliana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herman Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Here is a set which probably belonged to a Dutch soldier who served in the Dutch Princess Irene Brigade in WW2. This brigade fought in Northwest Europe in 1944-1945. As you can see he chose to wear his British Campaign stars. This was forbidden in the Dutch forces after WW2. Since the eighties of the last century most veterans are retired and started to wear them anyway. His medals are: Bronze Lion War Remembrance cross with 3 clasps Resistance Remembrance cross 1939-1945 star France and Germany star Defence Medal War medal 39-45 Unfortunately his name is lost in history.

Brett Hendey Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Herman Thank you for this interesting post. I like the mixture of Dutch and British medals, and I can understand why veterans would choose to wear both, even if it was officially not permitted.

paul wood Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Interesting because British recipients were allowed to wear allied, including Dutch, decorations Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
