      @DavidBrown One of our Dutch members such as @ShonenJake13 @vogelcommando or @Kifaru Bwana could probably give a better and more detailed summary, but in essence it is a cenotaph for those who lost their lives in WWII - not merely in combat, but also those involved in the Resistance and those killed in the Holocaust.

      And the ones who lost their lives in the East Indies - now known as Indonesia and which in those days were a dutch colony. The Japanese occupied the East Indies ( and many other parts of Asia ) and many lives were lost there.

      @DavidBrown this is indeed what TLD describes. The original monument was a colonnade with 11 urns which contained earth that had been collected from the battlefields and cemeteries from each of the Dutch provinces (they later added a 12th urn with earth from
      the battlefields based in the Dutch Indies too), which was unveiled in 1947 (the 12th urn came three years later).
      This monument officially replaced the colonnade in 1956, though has had various refurb works done to it since. It achieved national status some time in the 2000s.
