The Information Center's new experience room tells the stories of soldiers buried at the Holten Canadian Cemetery. This includes Bill, Virginia Tingley's uncle from Canada.

“As a family, we are very happy that Uncle Bill was chosen for the experience space. We've always kept the memory of him alive. I once had the pleasure to visit the cemetery in Holten, and I was moved to see how beautifully each grave is cared for. At that time, I took a lot of pictures for my mother (Lorna) and for my aunt Mary. They never had the opportunity to visit Holten. My sister Linda Fury and I have given a number of presentations about Uncle Bill, for a family reunion, and for a church in our region. Many family members have visited the Canadian Cemetery in Holten, and we are fortunate that my uncle is buried there. As I told my mother and aunt after my visit to Holten: “If a soldier has to be buried far from his homeland, the cemetery in Holten is the perfect place”.”
