This new club joins the Roman Catholic football federation RKF – more specifically its sub-branch in the central and eastern part of the Netherlands, the RKUVB (Rooms-Katholieke Utrechtse Voetbalbond). The first pitch of DSV is situated at the crossroads of Oldenzaalsedijk and Weerselosestraat, with the club later moving to a plot of farmland at Hengelosestraat owned by Reimer Scholten.
• 1940 / With the Roman Catholic federation (RKF) as well as all other football federations other than the non-confessional KNVB folding in the face of the dreaded Gleichschaltung, i.e. the forcible coordination of institutions and society under Nazi rule, after the German occupation of the Netherlands in May 1940, KSV Losser joins the KNVB – renamed NVB for the duration of the war – being placed in its sub-branch in the region of Twente, the TVB – officially renamed Afdeling Twente – under an adapted name to avoid confusion with other NVB members; Rooms-Katholieke Voetbalvereniging (RKVV) Deurninger Sportvereniging Deurningen (DSVD), with the name change not being officialised in the membership list until October 1941.

Timeline

• 1910 / In Losser, a town in the Twente (Twenthe) region hemmed in between Enschede and the German border, the first football club, DOS (probably the acronym for Door Oefening Sterk) folds, ceasing all activities. No information is available about the foundation year of this club, which was an early member of the so-called Twentsche Voetbalbond (TVB), the Twente sub-branch of the Netherlands’ Football Association (NVB, later renamed KNVB). In the following decade, only the Catholic community of Losser succeeds in forming a club, RKVV Excelsior, which, however, refrains from membership of the TVB, preferring Roman Catholic association RKUVB instead.
• 1920 / Foundation of a non-confessional football club in Losser, which takes on the name Be Quick. A firmly working-class club, with the membership mainly being made up of workers of the local Van Heek textile factory, Be Quick possibly settled on a plot of land at Overdinkelsestraat, in the vicinity of the factory – and therefore usually referred to as the Van Heekcomplex. Also in 1920, another (probably) non-confessional club saw the daylight in Losser, vv Losser. 
• 1921 / One year after its foundation, vv Losser joins the TVB league association. That same year, vv Lossersche Boys sees the daylight, probably another non-confessional club, formed as a breakaway of the Catholics of RKVV Excelsior; like vv Losser, vv Lossersche Boys joins the TVB.
• 1922 / Applying for TVB membership, Be Quick has to change its name in order to avoid confusion with other clubs bearing the same name, is accepted into the association as Sportvereniging Prinses Juliana, abbreviated as SV PJ or usually just PJ. That same year, vv Losser folds after an existence of barely two years.
• 1923 / A group of Protestant Christian members of SV PJ decides to form a breakaway club, vv Achilles. One source claims that the club settles on a pitch laid out at the back of Café Koopman on Lutterstraat right at the start – it is clear the club already played here from before the war years until at least 1954. Whereas vv Achilles breaks away from SV PJ, this club absorbs vv Lossersche Boys that same year.
• 1926 / As vv Achilles applies for TVB membership, the club has to change its name in order to avoid confusion with other clubs bearing the same name – and is admitted into the association as vv Tot Achilles’ Roem (abbreviated as TAR).
• 1932 / Having played in the ranks of the TVB in the first ten years of its membership, SV PJ now wins promotion from TVB Sunday Division 1 to KNVB District East’s Sunday League 4.
• 1936 / Having played in the ranks of the TVB in the first ten years of its membership, vv TAR now wins promotion from TVB Sunday Division 1 to KNVB District East’s Sunday League 4.

• 1940 / As the Germans occupy the Netherlands in May 1940, the name of SV PJ, with its reference to a member of the Royal Family, becomes a liability, with the club changing its name to become vv Lossersche Boys – in fact the name of the club absorbed into SV PJ in 1923 – for the duration of the war, although the name change is not officially mentioned in the membership list of the Netherlands’ FA until October 1941.
• 1941 / vv TAR finishes as runner-up in District East’s Sunday League 3A, 1 point behind champions GVV Eilermark.
• 1942 / vv TAR finishes as runner-up in District East’s Sunday League 3A for the second year running, 5 points behind champions GVV Eilermark.
• 1943 / vv TAR ties for first place in District East’s Sunday League 3A with vv Haaksbergen, with the result of the tie-break match between the two clubs being unknown; no championship play-offs are held following the 1942-43 season, as a result of which vv TAR remains a League 3 club. Meanwhile, down in Sunday League 4B, vv Lossersche Boys finishes as runner-up, 4 points behind the local Roman Catholic club, KSV Losser.
• 1944 / Clinching the title in District East’s Sunday League 3A for the second year in a row, finishing 3 points ahead of closest rivals vv Haaksbergen, vv TAR fails to win promotion in the ensuing round of championship play-offs.

• 1957 / Finishing bottom of the table in District East’s Sunday League 3A, vv TAR descends into Sunday League 4 after eighteen years. Also around this time, TAR moved away from its pitch at the back of Café Koopman on Lutterstraat, settling on Sportcomplex Möllenberg at Hogeweg – in fact the same street where the park of KSV (KVV) Losser was situated at that time. Meanwhile, down in Sunday League 4A, SV PJ finishes bottom of the table, thus descending into TVB Sunday Division 1 after 25 years.

• 1987 / Due to drainage works having to be carried out at Sportpark Het Brilmansdennen, KVV Losser has to play the entire 1987-88 season away from home, with activities being subdivided among other sports facilities in the town and with first team football moving to Sportpark Het Hannekerveld of neighbours vv TAR.
• 1988 / In its season at Sportpark Het Hannekerveld, KVV Losser wins promotion to Sunday League 2 following a Sunday League 3 title. Following the 1987-88 season, after a one-year groundshare with vv TAR, KVV Losser moves back into its renovated Sportpark het Brilmansdennen.

Confusingly, the year 1921 also seems to have produced a club called RKVV Losser, which joined the RKUVB. This may have been a short-lived successor club of RKVV Excelsior as well.

Timeline

• ± 1919 / Shortly after the end of World War I, with the British forces being hailed as liberators in Belgium following the defeat of the German occupiers, football is brought to the attention of the inhabitants of the Borinage region by the soldiers from overseas. Several clubs are formed in the aftermath, one of them being Patria Club Dour in the eponymous mining town. It is unclear where the pitch of this club was situated.
