00:0080 years ago, there were also young soldiers here who fought for our freedom, but many
00:11of them never came home again.
00:15Rifleman George Williamson was one of them, so I would like a special welcome to Pat Kell
00:22as a family of George, and Andrew Charles as a family of Andrew Charles.
00:30In gratitude and recognition, a number of Dutch veterans, together with the community,
00:37made this film to give George, but also all other liberators, a face to them.
00:47I would like to thank my wife for helping me in these three years, and I wish a nice
00:57viewing of the film, Lest We Forget.
