Minor thread drift

Banana Boy,
The Dutch have looked after our fallen service personnel for many years. A good friend of my late father went back to the Arnhem area a few years ago, to join in the
Market Garden commemorations. Every village has it's own military graveyard. Each child in the village is responsible for tending the graves and keeping everything in order.
This has been their practice since the end of the war, and their way of thanking those who came to their aid when it really mattered.
