Frederik Ferdinand "Fred" Ormskerk (April 26, 1923 – May 1, 1980) was a Surinamese military leader. He was awarded many honors for his military services in Indonesia and Korea. After a KNIL training at Camp Casino, Australia, he arrived in Batavia (now Jakarta). Here he became a soldier in the newly formed Korps Speciale Troepen (KST), led by Captain Westerling. At this moment he is nicknamed ''Bikkel'', which means "stud". In February 1980, the coup d'état led by Dési Bouterse took place in Suriname. Ormskerk originally wanted to launch a counter-coup on April 30, but failed and he was put in prison, and then tortured and eventually slain. Decades after this tragedy occurred, the alleged failed coup is still shrouded in fog. ==Awards== * Cross for Law and Liberty with Buckle Korea 1950 * United Nations Service Medal with Clasp Korea * Award of the Korean War Service Medal * Korean Presidential Unit Citation * Certificate of Appreciation 38th Infantry Regiment in Korea * Medal of honor attached to the Order of Orange-Nassau in gold with Swords * Gold Medal due Prolonged, Honest and Faithful Service 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fred Ormskerk」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
