Holten Canadian War Cemetery!


The entrance of the Canadian War Cemetery...... Quite near our park (where we rented our cottage) there was a very large Canadian cemetery.

It really is a very big and beautiful cemetery.

The stairs which leads you to the cemetery...

Here where buried 1355 Canadian soldiers who lost their lives in the Second World War when they liberated The Netherlands from the German occupation.











At the left side of the photo, that’s me with Bo walking to the fields where all grave tombs are…. ...

Many tomb stones... all next to each other and beside each one there are plants and flowers, so beautiful man!









1393 people.... fields and fields filled with tomb stones.... and more tomb stones…..

and more tomb stones.........

That’s me with Bo…., he is sniffing everywhere....










Dad examining the monument....











It was very impressive, all those graves.... and think of the fact that there are more Dutch cemeteries where Canadian soldiers from the Second World War are buried….....

Later!
