Zeebrugge Raid (St. Ημέρα του Τζωρτζ) 1918 Commemorations

Dover Town Council will remember the 104ου Anniversary of the Dover Patrol’s heroic and historic raid on Zeebrugge on St George’s Day 1918 on Saturday 23rd Απρίλιος 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 Οδός, Ντόβερ. 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.

Οδός. Η επιδρομή της Ημέρας του Τζωρτζ στο τυφλοπόντικα Zeebrugge ήταν ένα πιο εμπνευσμένο επεισόδιο πρόσφατης βρετανικής και βελγικής ιστορίας. Παρά την τρομερή απώλεια ζωής, το Raid Zeebrugge βοήθησε να επιταχύνει το τέλος του Πρώτου Παγκοσμίου Πολέμου.

As in previous years, residents of Dover and other members of the public are very welcome to attend.
