dedehansen Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Hi Gentlemen, recently I was able to aquire the estate from a Dutch paratrooper beginning with the Dutch East Indies then Korea and then probably Koninklijke Landmacht. Now I´m trying to research the estate continuing with formation badge. Am I right in assuming, that it is from the 4th division? Which units belonged to this division? I appreciate any help.

Herman Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Yes, 4th Division. It was worn with the oak leafs in top, left, right and bottom. The fourth division had three brigades numbered 41, 42 and 43. It was disbanded in the 1990-ties. A brigade had two infantry batalions and a tank batalion, or one infantry batalion and two tank batalions. Furthermore a recce coy, Artillery batalion, engineer batalion, medical coy, transport coy, signal coy etc. 41st Armoured brigade (two tank batalions) had also an additional recce batalion.
