    DUTCH AWARDS IN LATER ON BRITISH TERRITORIES ( eg CEYLON, CAPE OF GOOD HOPE )


    Recommended Posts

    Can anyone provide any information on Dutch Honours and Awards granted  in Dutch territories which later became British territories  ( eg Ceylon, Cape of Good Hope ) during the time that they were under Dutch control before they came under British control ?

    Hi Numis,

    You should look for V.O.C. medals/decorations as they were the ones that gave them to individuals (Most of them, if not all, where one offs).

    I've seen a list on the internet in the past about those from Cape Town, but unfortunately I can't find it anymore (forgot what it was called).

    Did find this one for you.

    With kind regards,
