CIMETIÈRE DE GUERRE CANADIEN DE HOLTEN Pays-Bas
Holten est un village qui se situe 20 kilomètres à l'est de la ville de Deventer, sur la route principale A1 reliant Amsterdam à Brême en Allemagne. Après avoir dépassé l'autoroute A1, quittez la route à l'intersection Holten qui débouche sur la N322. Lorsque vous apercevez un panneau indiquant la direction de Holten, continuez sur la N322 jusqu'à ce que vous arriviez à un panneau pour Holtenberg. Suivez ces panneaux jusqu'à ce que vous arriviez à un carrefour giratoire où vous verrez un panneau de la Commission qui dirige les visiteurs vers Molenberterweg. Cette route mène à la première droite sur la Holtenbergerweg. La Holtenbergerweg conduit à une piste non-métallique appelée Wullenbergweg. Après avoir suivi la piste jusqu'au bout, tournez à gauche et le cimetière s'étend sur 50 mètres sur le côté gauche.
Pour plus d’informations, visitez la Commission des sépultures de guerre du Commonwealth (site disponible en anglais seulement).
