SCHELLINKHOUT

Lake side cemetery on the yard of a 14th century church. Probably the most authentic, hidden and beautiful war grave location on this side of lake IJsselmeer (Old Zuyder Sea). The road that winds through the hamlet towards this church and the dike road show Holland as it was in the 17th century. Here rests RAF Sgt. Kenneth G. Mott, washed against the dike here 10 days after his Lancaster crashed in the Lake in the night of 25/26 June 1943. The RAF Sgt. next to Mott is not identified. He has as (wash ashore) date on the headstone 5th May 1943. However, in the community reports it is noted that this date was actually 5th of May 1944.
