Memorial 'They fell for us'

(Netherlands, the - North Holland - Hoorn)

This memorial, placed on the Westerdike 55 (by the IJssellake) in Hoorn, is made out of bronz and stands on a white-stone sockle.

The text on the memorial is:
'Crew of 570th and 571th Bomb Squadron'
' THEY FELL FOR US'

The artwork falls in attention right away when your walking on the Westerdike. Especially the text 'They fell for us' can be read clearly.
