Not sure if anyone would be interested, but as there are a few here whose relatives (Grandfathers, Dads etc) who are connected with this but several years ago I received a Jiffy bag in the post, and it ws from the Dutch Embassy london who sent to me a commemorative Medal stating that as my father had Defended a dutch colony he was entitled to the issue that the Dutch Gov't had decided to award and that families were to receive it...How they got my Name etc I do not know, BUT it might have been through a USS Pope member who I was e-mailing over many years, as I think the US boys got one, but he never did say if it was him, since I think he has passed on as I have not heard form him for a few years. BUT all of those involved are entitled to this medal.
Incidentally the Russians wanted to do something similar for the Russian Convoy boys (my neighbour being one of them) but at the time Tony Blair refused it...C'est La Vie.
