Dutch Border Battalions Memorial, Grave, Holland
This bas-relief by Jan Kettering shows a soldier of the Border Battalions guarding the town of Grave. It was erected on 31 October 1964 and its caption is We went and came back after years. Grave had been a garrison town for several centuries until the troops left in 1892. In 1938 the Army returned as the Low Countries began to fortify their defences against Germanys military aggesssion in her desire for Lebensraum. This effort included those blockhouses that guarded the Grave bridge. Border battalions were formed and mobilised in 1938 and those stationed in this area came under the command of an HQ in Grave.
