Photographer: Jj Karwacki
Taken: July 4, 2023
Caption: Southeast Corner,
the Damaged and Rebuilt Corner of the Memorial
Additional Description: This corner of the memorial was destroyed shortly after it was built, perhaps by a stray Allied bomb during one of the arial raids on the bridge. The corner was rebuilt, but only one of the original marble plaques, the one in English, on the left, was replaced, and likely with different text. The one on the right was not, and there is a debate as to which language it used. That it was in the Dutch language is the most prominent assumption.

The plaque on the left now reads,

Memory of Deceased Prisoners of War

superimposed over a circular funerary motif, which is dated 1944.
