Belgian SAS item

[MerchantSeaman]

I picked this up a while back, a "Death Card" or funeral memoriam card, to a Belgian SAS trooper killed on a Para Drop exercise over Germany I think from memory, or was that the other card which I cant find yet ?

[MerchantSeaman]

and the other side, any ideas of what it says anybody.

Very nice item, I'm sure Des or Marc will be able to help you with this one!

It says that he died in the military hospital in Brussels in January the 16'th 1951. He was born in Kortrijk in 1930.

Cheers,
Junior.

Hi Pete,

Nice early postwar Belgian SAS death card you have there I myself collect Belgian SAS items from 1942-45. Do you have any wartime examples to show?

I wish I had mate, I think the other card might have been 1960-ish, I'll dig it out tomorrow and post it

Great death notice.
I think I might have some WW2 pics of the guy.
I'll see if I can make some scans of them.
