The grappling iron used at the St George’s Day raid at Zeebrugge in 1918 is preserved in the People of Dover’s War Memorial Garden.

Dover Town Council will remember the 98º Anniversary of the Dover Patrol’s heroic and historic raid on Zeebrugge on St George’s Day 1918 on Saturday 23rd Abril 2016. Comenzando con un servicio en 10.45 estoy en el cementerio de St James, the commemorations will finish with the ringing of The Zeebrugge Bell at Dover Town Hall.

El St. La incursión del Día de George en el topo de Zeebrugge fue un episodio muy inspirador de la historia reciente de Gran Bretaña y Bélgica.. A pesar de la terrible pérdida de vidas, el Zeebrugge Raid ayudó a acelerar el final de la Primera Guerra Mundial.

After the ceremony at St James’ Cemetery, the civic party and veterans will return to Dover Town Hall to ring the Zeebrugge Bell. La Campana fue un regalo de agradecimiento del Rey de Bélgica en reconocimiento al sacrificio de los caídos de Dover, many of whom are buried in St James Cemetery. As in previous years, residents of Dover and other members of the public are welcome to observe the commemorations, in particular the ringing of the Zeebrugge Bell at noon.

Following the commemorations, please join us for a free concert, in the Connaught Hall of the Town Hall, Biggin calle, Dover, being conducted by the Royal Scout Harmony (Band) of Zeebrugge, commencing at 1pm.
