An officer of ML-KNIL (Luit-Colonel/overste) in Melbourne
Again his Service cap made by Johnson Brot. Sydney and his uniform made by Wardrop Melbourne
An other special view let see on his short brim cap the maleis (Indonesian) word "ADA" which means "Being present/Here I am".
Dutch soldiers of the KL often wrote such things on the brim inside !
Nice detail I must say.
Can you tell me was your uncle Vrijwilliger (Voluntair) or Diensplichtig (conscripted) ?
I do have a bit on stuff related to that and would like to show
Regards,
Polly
Jerry,
although this service cap has nothing to do with the military, it is still a beauty and for certain collectors in The Netherlands a must-have !
There are people who are collecting this serious.
and again another one postwar period ML-KNIL:
Emblemata all in metal
Nice to say that the Dutch lion still comes from STOKES and the eagle from LUKE
