macarenses Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 Nice Dutch anti-nazi war medal. No artist signature unfortunately. Fought For Freedom 1940 is the legend. Reverse legend I have a dodgy literal translation of, but would prefer a better one if anyone can provide one. 'Geweld Deed Wijken's Lands Geluk En Zaaide Lijken' Anyone seen this before and have any more information? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Geweld Deed Wijken's Lands Geluk En Zaaide Lijken' That inscription "Geweld deed wijken 's lands geluk en zaaide lijken" means something like "violence made the luck (or happiness) of the country go and sowed dead bodies". Sorry, don't know anything about that particular medal ... Christian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
