    This cross was placed in 1946 in the Schadijkse forests in Meterik in memory of the resistance fighter Derk van Assen, who was shot dead here by the Germans.

      The monument for Derk van Assen reminds the residents of Meterik (municipality of Horst aan de Maas) of the resistance pioneer who was shot here by the occupying forces on September 14, 1943.
