War Graves local cemeteries Gelderland

Bought myself a new bike, and have decided to check local cemeteries for War Graves, started off near Oldebroek, and everytime I come along a cemetery which holds a note for War Graves I will make photographs

Yes he is number 12, it turned out that a number of graves were moved in 1945 from Vlieland!!, to Oldebroek, Thursday I hope to find out WHY and Whom.

I just had an Ex-Pat Aussie offer to send me all of the Bergen burials (3 cemeteries) RAAF and RAF Aussies.

I will be able to close off another four cemeteries.
