At this location you stand in front of a memorial to the fellow citizens of Goes who died during WW2 1940 - 1945 and the Dutch East Indies period 1945 - 1962.

The bell in this tower is rung in respectful memory of these fallen soldiers.

Remember that they gave their lives in the execution of their mission for the homeland.

The war memorial in Goes consists of two bronze plaques and a bell. The plaques are set in an arched niche of white natural stone with ornamentation. The upper plaque depicts a bell in relief, while the lower plaque features the Decoration for Order and Peace, consisting of a helmet, a sword, and a palm branch. A cast-iron fence has been placed in front of the niche.

The war memorial in Goes was erected in memory of all the townspeople who died in the fight against the occupying forces during World War II. A plaque also commemorates soldiers from Goes who died in the colonial war in Indonesia, in the former Dutch East Indies. This second plaque was added to the monument in 2004. The plaque was an initiative of the Association of Former Military Personnel from the East Indies.

(National Committee 4 and 5 May)
