ZEEBRUGGE RAID (ST. GEORGE’S DAY 1918)

Dover Town Council will remember the 101st Årsdagen for Dover Patrols heroiske og historiske razzia på Zeebrugge på St George's Day 1918 on Tuesday 23rd April 2019. Beginning with a service at 11.00 am in St James’ Cemetery, the commemorations will finish with the ringing of The Zeebrugge Bell at Dover Town Hall.

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.

After the ceremony at St James’ Cemetery, the civic party and veterans will return to Dover Town Hall to ring the Zeebrugge Bell. Klokken var en takkegave fra kongen af ​​Belgien som anerkendelse af ofringen af ​​Dovers faldne, 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.
