Product Information
Specification
Netherlands: WW2 Cross of Merit, 1941.
On the reverse: VOOR VERDIENSTE ("For 
Merit")
The Cross was instituted in 1941 the Dutch 
government in exile in London.
It was awarded for meritorious services in 
the interest of the Netherlands in connection 
with enemy actions, but not necessarily 
related to front line operations. 
The Cross could be awarded to both military 
and civilian, Dutch and non-Dutch citizens.
During WW2 it had often been awarded to 
those who managed to flee to England as 
well as to those who joined the Armed 
Resistance. 
The medal was rarely awarded after the 
Korean War, but since the Dutch army was 
involved in the operations in Afghanistan 
and Uruzgan, this WW2 decoration has been 
awarded again, on a regular basis, with the 
latest on 7 Oct. 2009 to 11 Dutch soldiers. 
The Cross was made by Spink & Son and 
J. R. Gaunt & Son during WW2 and in the 
Netherlands after 1945.
The Cross is rare.
This is a WW2 example.
