Comment
Hawkins: These personages are united upon the same medal because in the winter of 1746 they met at the Hague to arrange the plan of the ensuing campaign, in which the British part of the allied army was commanded by the Duke of Cumberland. The Prince of Orange, by his elevation to the Stadtholderate, was placed at the head of the Dutch army, but being ignorant of military tactics, and jealous of his more experienced brother-in-law, serious dissensions soon sprang up between him and the Duke.
