Dover Town Council will remember the 104th Årsdagen for Dover Patrols heroiske og historiske razzia på Zeebrugge på St George's Day 1918 on Saturday 23rd April 2022.
There will be one service, inclusive of 2-minute silence and wreath laying, to be held at 12 midday at the People of Dover’s War Memorial, Biggin Street, Dover. The Town Mayor of Dover, Cllr Gordon Cowan will begin the commemorations by sounding 8 rings on the Zeebrugge Bell, which is located at the nearby Dover Town Hall. The Bell was a gift of thanks from the King of Belgium in recognition of the sacrifice of British servicemen, many of whom are buried in St James Cemetery.
Den St. George's Day-raid på Zeebrugge-muldvarpen var en meget inspirerende episode for nylig britisk og belgisk historie. På trods af det forfærdelige tab af liv, Zeebrugge Raid hjalp til med at fremskynde afslutningen af første verdenskrig.
As in previous years, residents of Dover and other members of the public are very welcome to attend.
