| Comments |
Military mess tokens in paper form were common across Dutch garrisons in the postwar decade, issued by individual regimental messes to control canteen credit and reduce the need for small coin in on-base transactions. The Prins Willem III Kazerne in Amersfoort was a cavalry barracks, and the Cavalerie-Mess operated its own internal scrip independently of any central military authority — these notes had no validity outside the gates.
Drukkerij B. Kramer was a local Amersfoort printer, not a security press. Survival rates for this type of ephemeral garrison scrip are low; most were redeemed, discarded, or lost in routine barrack clearances.
