- More in our story Resistance in Valkenburg
Dutch conscript, killed in Schin op Geul on the first day of the war. We read about him on the link below: there were three S-casemates with a light machine gun. One of them near the church, an intersection of railway lines and the road to Valkenburg. German tanks moved west on this road. They stopped because of the roadblock. The fire was opened on the German soldiers, but armored vehicles and tanks opened fire on the casemate, with a hit in a loop hole killing the soldier Mirck and injuring another one. [5]
He was hit in the head. [2#4]
He was originally buried in the Schin op Geul cemetery, see photo [2#27]
His remains were reburied June 10, 1969, in the honorary cemetery in Loenen. [2#35]”
Evert Leendert Mirck is listed in the Erelijst 1940-1945 (Honor Roll of the Dutch Parliament). [3]
Reburied on the National Field of Honor in Loenen, grave E 762 [4]
