"Opdat wij niet vergeten de jaren 1940 - 1945.
Een herinnering aan D.P. Drummond, Australische piloot,
die hier een tijdelijke rustplaats vond van
01-04-1945 tot 28-04-1945."

"So we do not forget the years 1940-1945.
A reminder of D.P. Drummond, Australian pilot,
who found a temporary resting place here
01-04-1945 to 28-04-1945."

A few weeks before The Netherlands was liberated by the Allies unfortunately pilot D.P. Drummond, with his Hawker Typhoon during a mission, shot down near Bruchterveld, The Netherlands.
The inhabitants buried him here temporarily but will never forget him.
