Guided tours at Overloon War Cemetery

Yesterday, 11th of May we provided a tour at Overloon War Cemetery for the Historical Circle Land van Cuijk, among others, and told many personal stories about the soldiers buried there. The group was very interested and also came with a lot of wartime historical knowledge and stories themselves. We are far from finished telling stories, as it turned out.
The history of the Land of Cuijk municipality is rich in stories, whether about the war years or before or after, let’s keep visiting each other and spread our knowledge!

The tours on 15 May also attracted a lot of interest, despite the rain showers. It was nice to see both locals and people from surrounding villages coming together. The public’s interest and involvement were heartwarming. Many showed their gratitude and shared their own historical knowledge and insights, which made the tours even more valuable.
We thank everyone who, regardless of the weather conditions, took the time to discover and remember the stories of Overloon War Cemetery.

Our Foundation regularly provides guided tours, but during CWGC’s official International War Graves Week, we also tell a bit more about the origins and design of these cemeteries, of which Overloon is one of 23,000 worldwide.
