About 5,000 Dutch volunteers were trained and equipped by the US Marine Corps from 1943 to 1945, mostly at Camp Lejeune and Camp Davis, in order to form an autonomous brigade intended for retaking the Dutch West Indies from the Japanese. Following the surrender of the Empire of the Rising Sun, the Mariniers were not given the opportunity to fight the Japanese forces -- instead, they were to face the nationalist guerilla for four years, until Indonesia was eventually granted independence. https://geneakatwijk.webtrees.net/tree/katwijk/individual/I203150/Albertus-Petrus-Leonardus-van-der-Zalm#tab-personal_facts https://www.museumofthemarine.org/the-dutch-marines-and-camp-lejeune/ Illustration documents available in digital format only.
