The love of uniforms of Willem Staring


Willem Constantijn Staring was born in 1847 as the Benjamin of seven children. In 1830 his father had marched in the Ten Day Crusade against Belgium and since then had a lifelong dislike of the military. Nevertheless Willem chose for a career in the army. In the 19th century a not uncommon choice for an upper middle class boy. Yet the army didn't bring him much adventure. At the time Staring joined the army, the country wasn't involved in a war and also wouldn't be till WWII.

Maybe we can expect the church's approval of gay marriage by 2095!
