Three Dutchmen Postcard c.1914
Posted: Sat Oct 28, 2006 10:03 am
I am researching Dutch history in Australia and have come across a postcard from 1914 with 3 Dutchmen dressed in boy scout looking uniforms (long-pants though!).
On the back is printed: "Mr L. Booy, Mr A. Krijnberg and Mr A. V.D. Enden. Three Dutchmen on their journey round the world. Started 23rd March 1914, from Brussels (Belgium) without money. They may not beg and must earn their living by the sale of postcards. Please buy one and pay what you like."
I imagine that there must be quite a few around as these men were in India before reaching Australia in about 1915.
Has anyone come across these cards or know where I can find more information?
Thanks a lot.
Neil
