Monument Halifax Mk.V s/n DK259 WL-L

In the triangle Hengelo, Enschede and Boekelo is, just before the junction with the Molenveld, along the Kwinkelerweg a small memorial to the downed crew of the Halifax Mk.V s / n DK259 WL-L.

The aircraft crashed near the Kwinkelerweg on 29 September 1943. The memorial was unveiled on September 29 2013. It includes a guestbook and a nice folder with the story of this device and its crew, illustrated with several pictures.
 
On the monument is the following text:

"Let us never forget our liberators, who were in solidarity with us and were willing to make great sacrifices in the struggle for freedom."
