HRH Prince Bernhard, Lt Maarten Jan Knottenbelt, and others
Photo from the collection of Cpl. Hans Cramer, No 10(IA) Cdo 2 'Dutch' troop, courtesy of his family.
Jack Bakker advises "The man with the glasses is Lt Knottenbelt. The photo was made in Port Madoc during a demonstration for the Prince. Knottenbelt later received the Militaire Willemsorde, the Dutch equivalent of the Victoria Cross for actions during the battle of Arnhem and his work behind enemy lines as part of a Jedburgh team. The man in the middle with the cap is an officer from the Dutch Bureau Bijzondere Opdrachten, the Dutch equivalent of SOE."
