We have a monument foor corp Harper who received the Victoria Cross for his courage. He died when he took command over the bataljon to force a breaktrough the German line in Merksplas. Behind the monument is an old "quarantaine" barn which was a provisary military hospital drung the war. This is a historic building which we want te restaurate and maybe use as an info point for WW-II. The mayor of Hatfield (a village in GB which we have a lot of contact with) told us there is a trust in England which offer aid to such WW-II related monuments and building, but he did not remember the name. Maybe you know more (name or other possibilities)? Thank you in advance Erwin van Boxel communication officer village of Merksplas (Belgium) In Merksplas (Belgium) we have a rich history of WW-II.
