AGARDUS (GAS) MARINUS LEEGSMA

This card, although it appears to be a business card, is much larger and was probably half of a folded note card as it has a ragged edge,

Note that the second line shows his prior role as a partisan fighter in WW-II

After a long inhuman mental and physical suffering, our most careful and beloved father, in-law, grandfather, brother, and uncle left us.

Agardus (Gas) Marinus Leegsma Jr
Captain of Infantry retired
Honorable member of the AA (All American) 82nd Airborne Division (friend of the Airborne)

23 October 1923 - 27 October 1989


Decorated with the:
