Zetten Liberation Monument, Holland

This impressive Monument, designed by G. Berns, was inaugurated on 24th September 1984. It takes the form of a symbolic dugout representing the many civilians and military who are buried in the area - the negative aspect - and then, rising from the slit trench, is the positive -a shining V made of stainless steel which represents the Liberation. The inscription is on a black granite table, and on five tiles are the coats of arms of Great Britain, the United States, Belgium, Canada and Holland. The Monument has been adopted by the Rev. van Lingen School. Note that V stands for Victory and also for Vrijden which in Dutch means Freedom'. Date: 2000
