WWI. Mobilization of the Dutch army in the Dutch East-Indies (Indonesia). East-Indian troups marching, on the left a Japanese field kitchen drawn by small native horses. 1915.

Awesome and sad at the same time. Many lives were lost in the Great War (World War I)

The windmill to the left most likely is the 'Overveerpolder', near the 'Warmonderhek' in Warmond. Not far away from the 'Schuttersveld', military parade ground in Leiden. This particular windmill ceased to exist around 1930. Almost the same picture, in a lesser quality, can be found in the archives of the Dutch Windmill Database Organisation ( www.molendatabase.nl ). See at their website in the section of 'Database van verdwenen molens in Nederland' under 'DB nr' # 3536 to convince yourself. (this information has been made available by the help of mr L. Middelkoop of the Dutch Windmill Database)

Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Holland before the year 1920 / Nederland van vóór 1920, and we'd love to have this added to the group!
