The Netherlands fell to the Germans in May 1940 and was not re-entered by Allied forces until September 1944. The great majority of those buried in Holten Canadian War Cemetery died during the last stages of the war in Holland, during the advance of the Canadian 2nd
\n<\/sup>\u00a0Corps into northern Germany, and across the Ems in April and the first days of May 1945. After the end of hostilities their remains were brought together into this cemetery. Holten Canadian War Cemetery contains 1,393 Commonwealth burials of the Second World War.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

ACT OF REMEMBRANCE<\/strong><\/p>\n

They shall grow not old,
\nas we that are left grow old
\nAge shall not weary them,
\nnor the years condemn.
\nAt the going down of the sun
\nAnd in the morning<\/p>\n

\nWe shall remember them.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

IN FLANDERS FIELDS<\/strong><\/p>\n

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
\nBetween the crosses, row on row,
\nThat marks our place; and in the sky
\nThe larks, still bravely singing, fly
\nScarce heard amid the guns below.<\/p>\n

\nWe are the Dead. Short days ago
\nWe lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
\nLoved, and were loved, and now we lie
\n\u00a0 In Flanders fields.<\/p>\n

\nTake up our quarrel with the foe;
\nTo you from failing hands we throw
\nThe torch; be yours to hold it high.
\nIf ye break faith with us who die
\nWe shall not sleep, though poppies grow
\nIn Flanders fields.<\/p>\n
