Jack Bakker adds " As you will notice, it is not mentioned on the headstone of Van Rosendael that he belonged to No 2 Dutch Troop. On his headstone it says “BBO det London”. This means that at the time of his death he was from No 2 Dutch troop attached to the Dutch “Bureau Bijzondere Opdrachten” which literally translated means “Office for Special Assignments”. It was the Dutch equivalent of the SOE."
