Dutch m12 /m16 uniform photos (WW1) ?

[dave123]

Hello,

i believe the Dutch introduced their grey-green uniforms m12 or m16 just before or during WW1.

Are there any photos of these early uniforms worn during WW1 , perhaps with full equipment ?

As the Dutch did not take part in WWI, I am not sure if many pictures survive or what they would show. The same uniform was worn through to WWII and pictures from that period do exist. Here are some from the Dutch army museum in Delft and hopefully this might help you. I cannot say how much the equipment had changed apart from the helmet before the start of WWII.

I have painting dated 1918 and signed by what looks like E Hofmaking or Hofmaken. This name is Dutch and I wonder if the officer shown in the panting is also Dutch. The collar is all I have to go on, any help in identifying the nationality of the soldier would be helpful. See image.
