Zeebrugge-i razzia (utca. György napja) 1918 Megemlékezések

Dover Town Council will remember the 104th Anniversary of the Dover Patrol’s heroic and historic raid on Zeebrugge on St George’s Day 1918 on Saturday 23rd április 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.

A St.. George napi razzia a zeebruggei vakondon a leginspirálóbb epizód volt a közelmúlt brit és belga történelmében. A szörnyű életvesztés ellenére, a Zeebrugge Raid segített felgyorsítani az első világháború végét.

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