Exhibition: The Dutch Don’t Forget – The Cameronians in the British Liberation Army

 

Standing outside the entrance to Low Parks Museum is a simple, bronze memorial plaque on a polished granite plinth that bears the words “The Dutch Don’t Forget”. The plaque was presented to veterans of the 52nd (Lowland) Division, a Scottish, Territorial Army formation that played a vital part in the liberation of the Netherlands in the final stages of the Second World War. The message is simple, the Dutch will never forget the sacrifices made by the men of the 52nd (Lowland) Division in freeing them from Nazi oppression.

Two battalions of The Cameronians (Scottish Rifles) proudly fought in the Dutch campaign in the Second World War. The 6th Battalion, historically covering the county of Lanarkshire, and the 7th Battalion, drawn mainly from the south side of the city of Glasgow.

This commemorative exhibition highlights the part played by these two battalions, as part of the 52nd (Lowland) Division, in this pivotal stage of the Second World War.

Free entry, open Tuesday to Saturday 10:00am-5:00pm.

The latest play from PT Rose. Adapted by Stuart Falconer.

The story of this play is about misplaced loyalty, the fallacy of shallow celebrity culture and the dangers of delusion.

It centres on four female characters all the same family. Daughter, Mother, Grandmother and Great Grandmother and it explores in a humorous but in-depth way the change in cultural attitudes and people’s ideas and idolisms through the generations.

Throw in a clown for a husband and a sprinkling of Elvis and laugh and cry as this dysfunctional or normal family struggle to keep the family unit together in this sometimes ultra-modern or snowflake society!

Age Rating - 14 plus

Available to book online or by calling East Kilbride Arts Centre on 01355 261000.
