Hello,
Today I finally received two very interresting document/medal groupings, one of them is the grouping below.
This is the information I have about him without any further research.
The grouping also consisted of a bronze and emmanel sport badge, dated 1942.
Furthermore there were some letters to his mother and some other stuff.
I hope you all will enjoy seeing this nice grouping.
With kind regards,
Koen.
