Description

The Belgian Cemetery of Honour Willemstad is a military cemetery located on the Hollandsch Diep in the Dutch town of Willemstad.The cemetery contains 159 dead from the Second World War, from Belgium. Most, 134, were prisoners of war of the Germans and were transported by ship to prison camps. They were killed when their ship, the Rhenus 127, hit a mine on 30 May 1940. Some of the victims had previously been buried in the cemetery behind the Reformed Church of Willemstad; that cemetery became full and partly for reasons of public health it was decided to use a new mass grave on the Hollandsch Diep.
