although mostly spoken about the klewang with regards to Indonesia, the Royal Marechaussee is part of the Dutch military.
And thus in the Netherlands in a double role as both military police and as border patrol/border security as well. Requirement at the earliest times were next to a good health a certain minimum lenght and able to ride a horse. Enclosed 2 pics with a personal touch: one in full gear and one of my grandfather with his fellow mates at the Dutch Belgium border at Eijsden between 1914-1918 ( the Netherlands being neutral in the Great War) Last edited by gp; 23rd January 2022 at 08:13 PM. |
