I enclose a picture of a medal set to Dutch Vice Admiral Isaac van den Bosch (1852 - 1932).
I do not own this group. I believe it is in a museum.
The nice thing about this set is that it shows almost all Dutch orders and valor awards before WW2. The set is made in the Dutch military style called the 'Prussian' style. This style was officially accepted in the Netherlands in 1913 and was introduced by the German Prins Heinrich who maried Queen Wilhelmina in 1902 sametime accepting the Dutch sounding name Prins Hendrik. He was wearing his medals in this Prussian style et voila eleven years later....
Before 1913 the Dutch medal group style was the hanging 'swing' style as shown in post #1.
Back to the medal set. It consist of the Military Order of William 4th class, a Knight class in the Order of the Dutch Lion, an Officer grade in the Order of Orange-Nassau with the swords (Military division of this order), an Expedition Cross with the clasp "ATJEH 1873-1874" with an added gilded crown for honourable mention, the Atjeh medal 1873-1874 and a Dutch Officers Cross with numeral XXX.
The MWO4 was awarded to him by Royal Decree no 41 of March 9, 1908 and was for his efforts during the Bali expedition of October 1906 as a Navy Captain. The honourable mention was awarded to him by Royal Decree no 10 of October 6, 1874 as an Ensign in the 2nd Atjeh Expedition in 1874.
Isaac van den Bosch was born on september 11, 1852. Joined the Dutch Navy in 1868. He was promoted to Ensign in 1871.
He was commander of the Dutch Navy squadron Netherlands East Indies from June 1906 to July 1907. He was promoted to Rear Admiral on august, 30 1907 and got the job of commander of all Navy forces at Den Helder, the biggest Navy harbour in the Netherlands. He was promoted to Vice Admiral november, 1 1909 and retired on november 16, 1910.
From 1927 to his death in The Hague on september 30, 1932 he had the honourable function of Chancellor of the Dutch Orders.
That's all for today.
