    Impressive at this location. The reception camp was enormous for that time and was exceptionally equipped with a school, shop and church. Even everything was electrified, which was exceptional for such reception camps. 6,000 people stayed there in the years 1915 to 1918. Only a few foundations remain. The boulder as a monument stands on part of this last foundation remains.

    Moment ter ere van een vluchtelingenkamp. Hier zaten de Belgen in de 1e wereldoorlog. NL was toen neutraal.

    (Translated by Google) Nice monument but the location is great. The Ginkel Heath near Ede is beautiful. Good for cycling and walking. (Original) Aardig monument maar de locatie is geweldig. De Ginkelse heide bij Ede is mooi. Goed om te fietsen en wandelen.

    Amazing place, this monument was on the D Z (Drop Zone) where the paras parachuted in to protect the main bridge in Arnham (the film A Bridge too Far) it happened and is a big part of our history

    At the right time, when the heather is in full bloom, this is a beautiful area. Also take a moment to think about offering space to people fleeing war.

  • 3/5 Arjan A. 2 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Stone with text and a picnic table next to it. It must have been of importance to the descendants of the Belgians who were sheltered here during the First World War, but the blooming heath around it is more impressive. (Original) Steen met tekst en ernaast een picknicktafel. Het is vast van belang geweest voor de nazaten van de Belgen die hier in de eerste wereldoorlog werden opgevangen, maar de bloeiende heide eromheen is imposanter.

  • 4/5 Diego 0. 1 year ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Memorial site located in a beautiful heathland area. Reminiscent of a relief camp for Belgian refugees in the First World War. (Original) Gedenkplek gelegen in een mooi heidegebied. Herinnert aan een opvangkamp voor Belgische vluchtelingen in de Eerste Wereldoorlog.
