History


The Gratitude Medal (1940-1945) was established by Royal Decree in 1946. It was conferred upon Dutch citizens and foreigners in recognition of service rendered to the Dutch during the Second World War, and for providing aid to those who were affected by the German occupation.

The Bronze Medal features an obverse inscription that translates to "He Who Benefits a Friend, Benefits Himself," and a reverse inscription that translates to "The Grateful Dutch People."

The ribbon is orange with a horizontal white strip through the center.
