Dutch para´s case for matches

[dedehansen]

 

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 his case for matches

With illustration of a map, unfortunately not in the best condition.

 

I appreciate any help.

 

Kind regards

Hi Andreas,

not sure if this helps much…

this is the area shown on your map 👇

 

On your map the lines are sea

The chequered and the smooth areas are land, the two used to highlight the difference between nations/states(?) just as the same borders are highlighted in the map above using different colours.

 

 

If you want to date his match case, it’s possible you might find some of the place names used are outdated and that could narrow it down… just possibly 👍
