1. The Tegelaar Kepi Model 1928 - Blue piping 6th Infantry Regiment
This kepi features two blue pipings with a silk cockade, intended for a non-commissioned officer. The regiment number 6 on the front indicates that this kepi belonged to a member of the 6th Infantry Regiment. Specifically, this kepi belonged to Sergeant Goris Leendert van der Hum. It is a Model 1928 kepi. Sergeant van der Hum served during the mobilization and May days of 1940 with the Covering Detachment Willemsdorp. This unit was partly composed of soldiers from the 6th Infantry Regiment. Van der Hum lived in Dordrecht, which likely prompted him to have his kepi made at Paulus Tegelaar in Dordrecht.
