| Video Discription | A Dutch woman who had tended the World War Two grave of a Scottish soldier since she was a nine-year-old girl has died. After the Battle of Arnhem in Holland in 1944, children who had lived near the scene of the fighting were given a war grave to maintain. Willemien Rieken, 85, looked after the resting place of Trooper William Edmund from Musselburgh. Her death has been announced by the Arnhem 1944 Fellowship. She was one of the last surviving Flower Children, young people who laid flowers at hundreds of graves of Allied casualties in a ceremony after the end of the war. Niall Cherry, secretary of the Arnhem 1944 Fellowship, said the charity was saddened to be told of her death. __________________________ #ww2 #history #soldier ___________________________________ World War 2, WWII, Then and Now, Historical Photos, D-Day, Normandy, Berlin, War Documentary, History, Reconstruction, Memorials, Battlefields. _____________________________________ German units involved were: Reserve Division 148 - Reserve Grenadier Regiment 239 - Reserve Grenadier Regiment 8 - Reserve Grenadier Bataillon 372 - Reserve Grenadier Bataillon 164 - Reserve Jäger Bataillon 28 - Reserve Grenadier Bataillon 327 - Reserve Grenadier Bataillon 444 - Reserve Grenadier Bataillon 7 - Ost Bataillon 661 - Reserve Artillerie Regiment 8 - Division Füsillier Bataillon 148 - Kurt Hahn - Festungs-Pionier-Bataillon 14 - Krieg in Südfrankreich - Friedhof Dagneux - Volksbund - Then and now - Before and After - World war II - time travel - back to the future - after the battle - killed in action - ambush - drop zone - missing in action - KIA - MIA - casualties of war - photography - timelapse - Nice - Grasse - Cannes - Sospel - La Napoule - Villeneuve-Loubet - Levens - Col de Braus - Pont de la Manda - St Cézaire sur Siagne - Monaco - Monte Carlo - Menton - Pont du Loup - Cimetière de Caucade - Dagneux German cemetery - Draguignan US cemetery - Antibes - Cote d'Azur - Peira Cava - Wehrmacht - Fascism - chateau de la Napoule - Marvin Moles helmet - comparison - French Resistance - débarquement de Provence - Operation Dragoon - Autopsy of a Battle - The Champagne Campaign - Rhone American Cemetery - ABMC - 1944 - 1939 - 1945 - General Otto Fretter-Pico - General Robert T Frederick - Ange Grassi - Seraphin Torrin - execution - hanging - death penalty - Gestapo - FFI - FTP - FABTF - First Airborne Task Force - paratroopers - Operation Dragoon - Southern France Invasion - August 15th 1944 - Liberation - Occupation - animation - 517th PRCT - Wehrmacht - Nazi - vermist - verschollen - gefallen - Deutsche Soldatenfriedhof Dagneux - Volksbund - death in paradise - parents at gravesite - nostalgia - Dr. Med.
