On 18 May 2005, Jacques and Louise Goven-Billiau kindly donated the two objects in this collection to the Jewish Museum of Deportation and Resistance, predecessor of Kazerne Dossin. Jacques and Louise were presumably members of the 1914/1940 'Fort Liezele' re-enactment group. It is unknown how they obtained the uniform.
Original acquired. In good condition. Repository A/J/T: Textile. Numerous rust stains on the fabric.
No further accruals are to be expected.
