2nd Lt. Cornelis Fluijt OBE.
Royal Netherlands Forces att. 3rd Reconnaissance Regiment
My grandfather, Cornelis Fluijt, has served as liaison officer at the Netherlands Forces attached to 3 Reconnaissance Regiment Northumberland Fusiliers, Royal Armoured Corps. For sure it was for nine months, in November 1945 he got a recommendation. I do not know what he did during this period and also after May 1945.
He was awarded the Member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire.
What we know is that he was attached to a regiment because of his linguistics. He spoke Dutch, English, German and French. He did not speak about his wartime with his children. As his grandson I got a lot of personal papers after his death and now I am looking for his steps in the WW2.
I hope someone could help me.
