History of the monument The Friendly Holland Monument, located in the town of Verdun, is a poignant symbol of the friendship between the Netherlands and France, forged in the fires of the First World War. In 1916, during one of the deadliest battles in history, French troops fought a fierce battle to defend Verdun. The Netherlands, a neutral country during the conflict, offered humanitarian aid by setting up the French National Committee for Aid to the War Wounded (CNABG). This committee, led by the Count of Villeneuve, played a major role in organising medical aid and assistance for wounded French soldiers. Dutch nurses worked tirelessly to treat the wounded and comfort the soldiers, saving countless lives and strengthening the ties between the two countries. This act of generosity and solidarity was commemorated with the construction of the Friendly Holland Monument. Architectural features The Friendly Holland Monument is a breathtaking work of architecture. It stands proudly in the Japiot Park of Verdun, designed by the Dutch architect John HW Leliman and inaugurated in 1938. The monument consists of three main elements.
