  • Commotion New Monument Dreyeroord: They Forgot About the Gliderpilots
    Commotion new monument Dreyeroord: they forgot about the gliderpilots Door: Redactie Datum: 01 april 2019 20:30 Laatste update: 02-04-2019 10:56 The construction of the new Dreyeroord Foto: Renkum Nieuws Last week the Airborne Feelings Foundation launched a crowdfund for a new monument which should rise at the new Dreyeroord (the White House) in Oosterbeek, The Netherlands. Not the monument, but the design of it provides a lot of commotion on social media and the comments are not kind. A monument in memory is well received: a great idea, but why aren’t the right people, honoured in the right way? The monument should recall the battle delivered by the allies in September 1944. Dreyeroord, or: The White House as the British called it, was part of the famous perimeter and there has been terrible fighting against the Germans. Do justice The monument has to do justice to the desire of veterans for a place for Memorial. According to Airborne Feelings it were the King’s Own Scottish Borderers (KOSB) who fought here. But history tells us that not only men of the KOSB fought a heavy battle at Dreyeroord, at least 12 glider pilots fought along side by side. More than a quarter of the total number of allies that knocked on the door of the former hotel at September the 19th in 1944 . A clear design is not showed yet, but a description in the press release of the Foundation says: Artist Ellen Brouwers from Oisterwijk has created the design. During her research on the King’s Own Scottish Borderers every time the Glengarry (barret) with the badge of a St.
