Christmas eve at the Canadian War Graves Holten

Chrismas eve 2015,

On Facebook i found a community about "Lichtjes op oorlogsgraven", this means Lights on wargraves.I took some hours of from my work and left for a 40 minute drive to Holten with my wife Angelique. This unofficial ceremony was planned on 4:30PM and it would be a shame to be late. we arrived at 4:00PM and there allready were many people, some minutes before the ceremony the backpiper made a tribute to a fallen soldier. More and more people arrived at the cemetery, i think several thousands attended the ceremony. With the backpipers in front schoolchildren arrived at the cemetery, they placed the candles at all the graves. It was very exceeding, later that night i heard that candles were placed all over the Netherlands on about 140 locations.nadian War heroes.
