International Four Day Marches Nijmegen

[kakagoegie 0]

Every summer in Nijmegen (the Netherlands) there is the Four days marches (vierdaagse) wikipedia information. The civilians and soldiers who walk it (they are from all around the world), go through my village every year. When I was young, I used to ask them write their authograph in a little notebook I carried. Sometimes they gave me a stamp or some kind of label. Most of the times they were soldiers.

Lately I was cleaning up my room and I found the notebook I carried in 1997. There were some labels and stamps in them. I scanned them. Here they are:

1)

2)

3)

4)

5)

I would like to know if anybody recognises anything from these pictures. Of course those things from the RAF are easy to guess. But doo you know anything about the rest?

I will upload some new images in my next post.

Important to note that the participants come from across the globe (otherwise it would be TO for OT) "international"

The first one looks like it's from Heimevernet, the Norwegian voluntary force which can be called in when it's needed, like if the Swedes try to invade us

Second one from first post says "Protection & Aid -- our Army".

Never seen that ugly sticker before though, and not having served in the army i can´t say anything about the background.

edit: since the colors represent the swiss flag i guess they mean their heer, not our´s (germany)

Second one's Austrian, fourth looks swiss though, somet about a train?

9), The green one with the NATO symbol has MND for Multi National Division. IIRC UK, Belgium, Holland and Germany make up MND( C ) (Multi National Division Central Europe)

Does anybody who speaks french, know what (6) is about. I know it's from a captain who has something to do with sports, but that's all I can guess.

Cool, I have that same RAF Jaguar sticker

I missed out on participating in the Nijmegen march 2 years ago unfortunately. I had the opportunity to do so with my University Air Squadron but studies and cost got in the way

Captain André Pfister, Swiss Army, 1st armored brigade, possibly a sports instructor, what's written underneath is an address or at least a town's name with a postal code, Senarclens, from the Vaud canton. Soveillame is a nearby hamlet.

edit : here you go for the component of the Brigade this captain served with
