Militracks-Overloon 2016
As so often it was crowded yesterday (Saturday May 14th),
during Militracks at Overloon (Netherlands) at the area of
the war-museum with many dealer-stands.
Not much rain, lots and lots of visitors (over 6.500 it was said)
and many great vehicles, riding through the woods.
Some photos made by my friend Patrick Vereijken:
Many thanks for posting this , it is an incredible Museum but still the Forgotten battle !!
The gates of hell were opened and we accepted the invitation to enter" 26/880 Lance Sgt, Edward Dyke. 26th Bn Northumberland Fusiliers , ( 3rd Tyneside Irish )
1st July 1916
Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader
House Carles at the Battle of Hastings
You're right PaulD.
Here some photos from another photographer (Albert Hendriks):
Now one year later: 2017.
Is there anybody going to "Militracks" at Overloon (Netherlands) on Saturday May 20th?
Yes indeed, when two major formations ran up that road each unaware of the presence of the other until "all hell broke loose"! I have visited Overloon when I was stationed in Rheindahlen just over the border but I never knew about Militracks. Maybe it began after I was posted beck to UK in 1999, oh that makes me feel oldby Paul D
Had I known it was on this year I think I would have given my bike a run but too late now
I hope someone will post on the subject

"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing he cares more about than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature with no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."
This special event is anyway runing since 2011, as far as I know
and practically every year it is mentioned here at WRF!
Well, that's me told!
I have genuinely never seen any advertisment. I promise to make a note for next year
