Gronert Twins

Oosterbeck, Arnhem

Possibly the most poignant pair of graves I've ever seen. These are the graves of the Gronert twins. Their regimental numbers follow each other. They were born together, grew up together, enlisted together, dropped into Holland together, and the one twin died trying in vain to save the other.
