The remembrance post for the crew members of the JB535 who lost their lives.

Stichting Herdenkingspalen Hollands Kroon will work together with the Turfschuur museum. Today, it is possible to visit the museum from 13.00- 17.00h. In the museum there is a special attention to events which took place in and around Kolhorn during Worl War II, including the explosion of the JB535 Lancaster

Program:

14.00h: The Australian ambassador and the mayor of Hollands Kroon will unveil the remembrance post in Kolhorn at the Ansjoviskade. Mr Bak will play the national anthems of England and Australia

14.30h: Wreath-laying on the graves of the deceased crew members at the General Cemetery of Kolhorn (this is across the location where the post will be unveiled). There will be a moment of silence in which Mr Bak will play ‘The Last Post’.

15.00h: Around 15.00-15.30h there will be the opportunity to drink coffee in the OpZeeLand museum. This is on walking distance of both locations. It is then possible for everyone to visit the Turfschuur museum. Only today, the entrance is free, because of the unveiling of the remembrance post. If you wish, it is possible to give a small donation to the museum.
