Memorial to the Mobilized 1940

The Sacred Heart statue in Belfeld was erected in by former mobilisers who had survived fighting the occupying forces in the May days of 1940. The statue of a standing Christ figure is placed on a square brick pedestal, to which a plaque is attached.

The text on the plaque reads:

'10 MAY 1940.
THANK YOU FOR OUR SALVATION.
BELFELDS FORMER MOBILISED.'
