    We've recently adopted several soldiers of WW2 who are buried in the Netherlands @ Flushing (Vlissingen) Northern Cemetery.

    We are planning with our group a visit in September 2017 to the Cemetery, to Commemorate our fallen heroes.

    In total we've adopted about 30 soldiers (WW1 & WW2) all together, and we would like to have a photo of our soldiers and other informations, so we can place a face to our adopted soldiers.
