Yesterday, I visited my aunt. Together we went to Nederweert and photographed all the headstones at the Nederweert War Cemetery. If you would like to have a specific picture from here, let me know and I will post it here. Best regards, Pieter

Well done Pieter. That was a long trip for you to do both Nederweert & Sittard. It was! I left for my aunt at 7am and I got home after midnight. But we completed them both and I guess I can help a lot of people with the pictures.
If I get to Holland this year, I want to visit some of the others in that area. Otherwise it will be next year when I would also like to see the Floriade in Venlo.
The Floriade is beautiful! I still have to visit Uden en Venray now in that area. Perhaps this summer..
