This Sunday, May 4, 4pm, at Emerald Bank under the windmill, there will be a brief ceremony for Dutch Remembrance Day.
Also known as Dodenherdenking (Remembrance of the Dead), is a National Day of Mourning and remembrance in the Netherlands. It commemorates the victims of World War II and all subsequent conflicts and peace-keeping missions involving the brave Dutch citizens.
After the conflict, many Dutch settled in Australia, and local Edwin Scholl is inviting anyone with or without Dutch heritage to join him on Sunday, May 4, 4pm, at Emerald Bank for two minutes of silence to remember those who tragically lost their lives.
