This next group was a ceremonial component of the Dutch armed forces. My Dutch friend Bart joked that this was an example of the Dutch Army at the beginning of WWII. We all got a laugh but it got better when the announcer stated the the particular type of cannon being fired was commisioned in the 1880's and used up until 1939 or 1940. So in reality, this WAS the Dutch Army in WWII.
