One of the interesting tombs that i encountered while exploring the St. Michael's Church Ipoh Cemetety is this one written in Dutch belonging to a 25 year old gentleman that was born in Montfoort, Holland. The tomb reads;
Heir Rust
Onze Kameraad
Korp Gerrad Van Dijk
Geb 16 Nov 1921 Te Montfoort, Holland
Overl: 22 Febr 1946 Te Ipoh
It translates to
Here lies
Our Comrade
Corporal Gerrad Van Dijk
Born 16 November 1921 at Montfoort, Holland
Died 22 February 1946 at Ipoh
Unfortunately i don't have any information on how this 25 year Dutch soldier by the name of Corporal Gerrad Van Dijk lived or died. If you have any information or leads about him, do leave a comment below.
