Godfried Pieter Joseph Jacot (Dutch Soldier)When he was registered as a compulsory military service in June 1914, he was assigned to the fortress artillery. He was lucky, because he was stationed in the Defense Line of Amsterdam, not far from home. That he was an artilleryman can clearly be seen in the picture: two crossed guns stand on the collar of his uniform.
On 31 July 1914 the general mobilization came into force in the Netherlands. In August 1914 the Defense Line was manned by 10,000 soldiers, of which about three-quarters were stationed in the forts and the remainder in the barracks. One of those 10,000 soldiers was Godfried Jacot. source: (in dutch) amsterdam-eerstewereldoorlog.nl/item/gemobiliseerd-soldaat-jacot/ |
