Plaats het Baileybrug-monument nabij de Hefbrug
In the spirit of great historical awareness and respect for all those who made the liberation of the Netherlands possible, the municipality of Son en Breugel deserves a Bailey Bridge monument at a location near the current hefbrug. Unfortunately, this has not yet been realized.
Petition
We
representatives of the international community
establish that:
- it is of great historical importance that justice is done to the British 30th Corps and the American 101st Airborne Division, which enabled the Allies to advance and carry out Operation Market Garden.
- the fact that this operation ultimately failed only increases the importance of a monument.
- the article of November 19 in the MooiSonenBreugel Krant this shows.
and request
- to place the following proposal on the agenda of the municipal council: placement of the Bailey Bridge Monument near the Hefbrug over the Wilhelmina Canal to commemorate Market Garden on September 18 and 19, 1944, in Son en Breugel.
- the municipal council to approve the proposal to place the Bailey Bridge Monument near the Hefbrug.
