Last saturday I talked with a veteran from the Vrouwenkorps , Koninklijk Nederlands Indie Leger (VK KNIL for short). She mentioned that one of the advantages of belonging to this unit, was that they could go out in the evening in civilian clothing. The members of the regular VHK (vrouwen hulp korps) were supposed to go out in uniform. Incidently the woman I spoke to, recently (?) published a book on the VK, KNIL. I'll try to find out details of this publication.
Br,
Rob
