Of the six names listed, at least five are buried at the Dutch Military Cemetery on the Grebbeberg. The grave location of one person, G.W. Kloosterman, is unknown.

Ammunition Crates in Wijchen
Ammunition Crates in WijchenAmmunition Crates in Wijchen
During the winter of 1944–1945, the area around Nijmegen became a major gathering point for troops and ammunition. All this was in preparation for Operation Veritable, the attack on Germany that was to begin from this area on 8 February 1945. Many people had Allied soldiers and evacuees ‘quartered’ in their homes. Wijchen, too, was full of ammunition destined for the front. The ammunition crates were lined up in long rows along the road. The Zandstraat, now known as the Kasteellaan, was one of the streets packed with these crates, as was what is now the Nieuweweg. Children would regularly get hold of items from these crates, such as bullets, air pistols and the like. They often played with these, though unfortunately not always with a happy ending.

Former home of Mayor LuskeFormer home of Mayor Luske
Jacques J.C.M. Luske was the mayor of Bergharen during the Second World War. Luske regularly protested against the German authorities and actively helped to protect people in hiding. During a raid, a number of people in hiding were arrested; after being tortured, they admitted that Luske had helped them go into hiding. On 6 March 1944, Luske was arrested by the Germans. He was eventually sent to Neuengamme concentration camp near Hamburg, where he died on 27 December 1944. Luske was 43 years old.

Pater Sebald Lindersstraat
Pater Sebald LindersstraatPater Sebald Lindersstraat
Father Sebald Linders, a Friar Minor born in Mook, was a follower of St Francis, but not a contemporary like all the other followers of the Saint of Assisi or St Clare who had streets named after them in Alverna. Father Sebald Linders owed this honour to his work in the Resistance. The friar, who did not shy away from taking up arms when necessary, and whose main contribution lay in sheltering Jewish children, was betrayed and shot by the Germans in Vught at the age of 37. On Wednesday 9 September 2015, Father Sebald Linders will be posthumously awarded the Yad Vashem ‘Righteous Among the Nations’ honour.
