During the war, Jan van Betuw was a bus driver and courier in the LO district of Heerlen under the pseudonym Jules. In this capacity, he narrowly escaped arrest in early 1944 during a check on the Valkenburgerweg in Heerlen while transporting ration stamps. The source for this information and also for the photo on the right is an interview with him on a website of students from Heerlen about the Second World War, which unfortunately no longer exists. After the war he worked as an auditor for the Dutch Municipalities South. [1]
He provided this website with information about the Soesman couple (click on his photo) and the then sexton of Valkenburg, Van Ogtrop. He was a bearer of the Resistance Memorial Cross. [2] [3]
