Since my childhood I have had an interest in military history. I did not pursue this profesionally but since then I have been busy researching “pieces of history”.
This is the website where I will blog about my current research interests and my collections. Some blogs will end up as articles which I publish on a regular basis and some materials will end up in other writers publications but the main purpose is to share them here for all interested readers.
My fields of interest are broad or maybe even eclectic but some themes are recurring: the Dutch East Indies Army from the Atjeh War including the local etnography for historical context to the Special Forces in WW2 and after. Next to that Dutch gallantry medals and orders but also the Korean War related medals. And last last but not least the Honvéd (Hungarian army) in WW1 and 2 in pictures and the bravery medals of those periods.
All content is on a historical basis only with no political or other opinions.

Thanks for looking, Erik
I have added a watermark to all pictures on this website as many of the pictures were used by others online without a reference to the source. These watermarks are a bulk application therefore some public domain pictures also have gotten that watermark on this website.
