We spend a lot of time in Holland, and as Brits you can do no wrong. The Dutch have very long memories, they still do and always will honour the fallen allies who liberated them, each generation passes that respect onto the next, I've not seen an unkempt memorial and don't believe I will. At Arnhem is the Airborne Museum & Cemetery, each Allied grave is adorned & tended to by Dutch Children, this they do happily with respect for their freedom.
