United Nations: Dutch version of the United
Nations Commemorative Medal for the
participation in the Operations during the
Korean War, under the UN mandate.
Issued to Dutch Military personnel "For
Services Defending the Principles of the
United Nations Charter“.
In its box of issue.
The Medal was established by the UN in 1950
and it was awarded to the members of the
multi-national forces who participated in the
Korean War (27 June 1950 and 27 July 1954),
in different form of the reverse side for each
participating Nation.
Especially for the Dutch forces the service
period for the award had been extended until
1 Jan. 1955.
A total of only 3972 Dutch soldiers and 1360
sailors of the Royal Netherlands Navy served
in Korea during the War, hence the medal is
very hard to find.
