Need translation/ explanation of pension card.

Question

I found a pension card for a profile I'm working on. I'm unclear on what the 2 dates in 1945 refer to. Separation from service? Death? Too much for my limited Dutch!

Thanks!

Answer 1

Hi Gloria King, in answer to your question, the date May 5, 1945 is the date he worked as a police officer 1st class

With best regards Enoch Stuivenberg

Interesting that he was discharged honourably on the day that the Germans capitulated.

Thank you!

Answer 2

E.O. stands for Eervol Ontslag, Honorable Discharge. Not sure why the date mentioned there is one day after the 5th of May 1945 mentioned higher up on the pension card.
