In May 2012 we shall be taking approximately 160
veterans in 80 London Taxis to The Netherlands
and join the Dutch people in their nation’s
Liberation celebrations.
The Dutch people have always shown their gratitude
and affection to those British veterans, who, with
the American, Canadian and Polish armies fought
for the liberation of The Netherlands.The bond
between our veterans and the Dutch is beautifully
illustrated by the schoolchildren of Arnhem and
Oosterbeek, who at the age of 8 are given the
responsibility of tending a grave in the
Commonwealth War Cemetery. This duty is passed
to them from an older child and becomes theirs
for the following four years.
To finance this trip we hope to raise in the region
of £80,000. If you would like to help us achieve our
target and make a donation to our trip, however
small, please visit our web site and make a donation
via paypal.
