Original Adopt-a-Grave Document
This is the original adopt-a-grave document granted to F.C. Oortgijs, my grandfather. He was one of the bomb disposal experts in Groesbeek, 1945. After the war, relatives of Rifleman Moloski contacted my grandfather, asking him to find Harvey's grave. After finding his grave, my grandfather and his parents wrote letters for several years and he also adopted the grave. He gave his third son, born in 1948, the same name: Harvey Thomas. Harvey Thomas Oortgijs hometown is now Veenendaal, Holland. email: h.oortgijs@hccnet.nl. -

GROESBEEK CANADIAN WAR CEMETERY Netherlands
Groesbeek is located 10 km south east of the town of Nijmegen and close to the German frontier. The Groesbeek Canadian War Cemetery is 3 km north of the village and 1500 metres east of the main road to Nijmegen. On leaving the A73 motorway at the junction Overasselt Mook Groesbeek follow directions to Mook. Follow direction signs towards Mook War cemetery. After passing Mook War cemetery continue to the village of Groesbeek to a set of traffic lights. Turn left at the lights onto Dorpstraat passing through Groesbeek. The road name then changes to Molenweg. A Commonwealth War Graves Commission direction sign indicates the right hand turning from Molenweg onto the Zeven Heuvelenweg. The Groesbeek Canadian War Cemetery is located on the right hand side, about 1 km after entering this road.
On the Memorial in the Canadian War Cemetery at Groesbeek are inscribed the following words:
Pro amicis mortui amicis vivimus, We live in the hearts of friends for whom we died.
