I acquired the following Dutch WWII group and having difficulty in identifying one of the ribbons in a ribbon bar.
The groups consists of the following:
1. 'Nederland' British made officers bronze cap badge
2. Dutch War Commemorative Cross
3. Miniature Dutch Cross for the Four Day Marches
4. Miniature Dutch Prize medal of the Army competitions in Venlo, 1929
5. Medal bar with Military MBE(or OBE), Dutch War Commemorative Cross, Unknown
The last ribbon (Orange with two green strips on outer edge) is the item I am having difficulty identifying. I have looked at various Dutch medal sites but to no avail. Also looked at other foreign and Commonwealth medal ribbons and also no luck.
I did however find a ribbon on the following site -
http://www.frontiernet.net/~ericbush/MiSh/Regt.html that shows UK regimental ribbons and it appears to be to the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers ( see attached image).
Did the Dutch forces and the RIF have a connection during WWII or am I looking along the incorrect lines?
Any help appreciated...
