Letter to Theodore Rundvall (Leonard’s Father)
The Netherlands Bronze Cross is an award for valour, apparently similar to the Distinguished Service Medal and the Military Medal, which are very high honours for NCOs. Leonard was one of five members of the Regiment to win the award and his name is Appendix E - Honours and Awards - of Paul Hutchinson's book Canada's Black Watch.
