Michel Wilhelm Nuboer (1916-1980) left Paramaribo in 1941/42 as an Assistant in the engine’s department of a freight ship bound to Curaçao during the Second World War. The ship may have likely been carrying aluminum aggregates for making fighter planes in the U.S. as cargo. Upon arrival, he probably was a gunner first, but then became a Medical Assistant stationed on Bonaire. During the 1960s - 1974+ he was a First Aid Medical Trainer in the Volunteer Corps Curaçao (VKC). On August 21st , 1969, Michel Wilhelm Nuboer received the Order of Orange-Nassau (no. 122) from Her Majesty the Queen.

Hello I am doing some research on Coast Guard deaths and I am trying to find out more information on how James Patrick Hayes died. It appears he was attached to the Coast Guard Cutter 475 at the time of his death. Any information that you might have would be greatly appreciated. thank you Anna

Zeer verrast om te ontdekken dat mijn vader Pedro Henrietta (stamboeknummer 6268) als schutter tijdens de oorlog meevocht. Graag wil ik weten waar ik inhoudelijk informatie kan vinden. Ik ben dankbaar dat ik dit nog ontdekt heb. Het verklaart zoveel over zijn karakter en de lieve herrineringen dat ik van hem heb. Helaas was hij op 50 jarige leeftijd door een bedrijfsongeval komen te overlijden.
