- Jacob_Staal abstract "Jacob (Jaap) Staal (8 July 1913 - 1981?) was a Dutch commando during World War II. He fought in Operation Market Garden in 1944. In recognition of his services, Faber was decorated with the Dutch Bronze Lion and the American Medal of Freedom with bronze palm.Following the German occupation of the Netherlands, Staal left for England, where he joined the British regiment Queen's Own Dorset Yeomanry. In 1944 Staal, holding the rank of lieutenant, received training for Operation Jedburgh along with fellow Dutch officers Arie Bestebreurtje, Henk Brinkgreve and Jacobus Groenewoud. Operation Jedburgh involved secret agents being parachuted behind enemy lines to conduct sabotage and guerrilla actions and organize local resistance groups.During Operation Market Garden, Staal was part of a five-men Jedburgh team codenamed Edward. Staal, now holding the rank of captain, was the only Dutch member of his team. The team landed by glider near Groesbeek on 17 September 1944. Team Edward's mission was to organize and support the local resistance, serve as liaison between the Allied airborne troops and the Dutch resistance, gather tactical intelligence and maintain lines of communication between the different Jedburgh teams taking part in Market Garden. Following the Allied defeat, the team returned to London from Brussels on 28 September.After the end of the war, Staal was promoted to reserve luitenant colonel of the artillery. In 1947 he emigrated to South Africa.".
