We visited this very beautiful and peaceful war cemetery with members of the Canadian Algonquin Regiment. Our tour was to recognize the 75th Anniversary of the Liberation of the Netherlands. It allowed us the opportunity to honour the brave Canadian soldiers and their Amazing accomplishments in the name of freedom. We appreciate the caring of the Dutch people in maintaining this very special resting place.

Overloon War Cemetery is a British commonwealth war cemetery for service people who died in the 1939-45, second world war. There was severe fighting in the vicinity of Overloon in October-November 1944, when the Germans were being cleared out of the region south and west of the Maas in preparation for the final attack on the Rhineland. Most of the burials in Overloon War Cemetery are of men who died during these months. The cemetery contains 280 Commonwealth burials of the Second World War, and one Dutch war grave. It's important to realise why the work of the CWGC (Commonwealth War Graves Commission) is important. For some, it is a commemoration of those who died protecting the world from facism, to others, a lasting symbol of the horror of war, but to me, it is the most befitting memorial to an entire generation, who gave their lives. Each headstone represents the pain suffered by a family, over the loss of their child, parent, brother, sister. The headstones follow a common theme. Service number, Rank, Name, Unit, Date of death, age at time of death, and at the bottom - often some words. Families had the choice to author these words, or use a selected sentence. Sometimes, despite their grief - they were able to put the most fitting of words, personal to their relative. One grave, that of Eric Gilbert, buried within the cemetery, has the most fitting words to validate the continued work of CWGC. It reads" "Sleep on dear Eric, in a grave we may never see, while memory lasts, we will remember thee" Part of the grieving process is to memorialise your loved one. With such loss, the trauma must have been made worse by their son being hundreds of miles away. If you're in the area - or if you ever pass a War Grave, stop, just for a moment, to read the headstones, and keep the memory of these service people who died in the past, so you can have a future. Thanks CWGC
