Hi,
I know as a medal its nothing special but a lady I know gave it to me. Her husband served 11 years in the Dutch East Indies. This was all he had to show for it. Once before he died he told me he never had to go armed when moving around the countryside. I was led to believe those Indonesians were just waiting to cut a white throat. He served in Batavia. I cant even remember his name now. It wasnt until the leaders whipped up hatred against the Dutch that they had to flee, these people came here (Australia) in 1962.
cheers Robert
