Royal New Zealand Air Force War Graves in Flevoland
The Province of Flevoland is the youngest province of the Netherlands and is the result of the biggest land-reclamation project in the country. Reclamation started in 1940 with the Noordoostpolder, with the former Zuiderzee islands of Urk and Schokland, and was completed in 1968 with Zuidelijk-Flevoland.
Although many Allied airmen lost lives over and in the dark waters of the (then) ZuiderZee, there is only one cemetery in this province. - Emmeloord, General Cemetery: 1 RNZAF wargrave. |
