Dirk (Dick) Arie Remmelzwaal, commando, help needed!

I have passed this query on to Jack Bakker - a very good friend of the CVA, a Captain in the post-war Dutch Commandos and an active member of the Dutch Commando Museum...

Hi Jacqueline,

I have had a reply back from Jack Bakker who tells me

Jack is puzzled about the story of your great uncle but has promised he will keep on looking and keep me informed on any outcome.

Hi Nick,

Thanks so much, and pass my thanks on to Jack too. Here's hoping he might still find something.

I've made a good start at the national archives;I've started going through files of interviews of civilians arriving in the uk during the war. There are a lot to go through, especially as we don't know exactly when he arrived in the uk.
I'm hoping to get back to Kew soon and am hoping I will find his name somewhere in one of those files!

We will also be having a look at the interviews by the dutch which are at the national archives in the The Hague, luckily not far from my family!

Thanks again,
