The names of such devoted soldiers deserve to be commemorated and are still freshly remembered by their countrymen. On the 25th of February, Maurice and his staff went to Willemstad on the Isle of Klundert, it having been given out on his departure from the Hague that his destination was Dort.
They at once went out into the town and bought the clothes necessary for their disguise.
