Liberation Event Lierde:Sunday 08
September 2024
The SHAPE RAFALO and local dignitaries joined the Senior National Representative at SHAPE, chiefs from the Belgian
and Australian Air Forces and local residents to commemorate the liberation of the small town of
Lierde. The service took place at the memorial to the crew of a 57 Squadron Lancaster (DX-P) which
crashed killing six (6) of the seven (7) multi-national crew on 21 Dec 1942. Wreaths were laid on behalf of 57 Sqn and the RAF Association by the SHAPE RAFALO and the Senior National Representative at SHAPE laid a wreath on behalf of
the British community. Both were invited to join in a small reception in the town hall following the event which also contained an exhibition to the atrocities of the holocaust and held many items on display belonging to the crew and the aircraft DX-P
20-30 commemorations per year for our aircrews!
RAFA Belgian Branch contribute to over 20-30 Commemorative Commitments each year, ranging from Armistice Parade with the Belgian King present, to personal tributes and commemorations to RAF aircrews who came down in small villages across Belgium during WWII. We owe it to them to honour their memory.
Therefore a plea to all RAF and RAFA personnel serving in Belgium, please glance at our busy events schedule and volunteer to support, you do not have to be a RAFA member. 1 event per person per year would make a huge impact
... Lest we forget ...
