On April 26, 2026, Tubantia reported about the possibility of adopting a war grave. This is also possible at the Canadian War Cemetery in Holten. Anyone can do this, and there are no costs involved. The purpose is to commemorate the soldier who fought for our freedom and died in the process. This can be done by placing flowers at the grave on their death anniversary, or by delving into the soldier's life story. You can find these life stories, for example, in our information center and in our life story database . For the adoption of a grave at the Canadian War Cemetery in Holten, we refer you to the Respect Adoption War Graves Foundation.

The adoption of a war grave is organized on behalf of the War Graves Foundation. Visit this website for more information. If you wish to adopt a war grave yourself, please email adoptie@ogs.nl or call 070-3131080.
