A number of Dutch boys in late 19th century photographs appear to have short cropped hair, almost shaved. This would appear to be a German style as it was popular in Germany through the early 20th century and did not decline until after World War I (1914-18) in the 192os. The same pattern probably occurred in the Netherlands. HBC is not sdure if schools might have incouraged this style.
