for the detention of 35 dogs at any one time.

FIELD OP HONOUR FOR NETHERLANDS WAR DEAD
During the War the bodies of 6l Netherlands War Dead were buried
at Paddington Cemetery, Milespit Hill, Mill Hill, N.W.7. In 1964 the
Government of the United Kingdom and the Government of the Kingdom of
the Netherlands reached agreement on concentrating the Netherlands
War Dead in a Field of Honour at this Cemetery.
This involved the removal of 189 bodies from many parts of the
United Kingdom and Northern Ireland to this Cemetery and the exhumation
and reburial of the 61 bodies already at the Cemetery.
These exhumations, which were supervised by the District Public
Health Inspector, were carried out by the staff of the Netherlands
War Graves Commission in a satisfactory manner and with due care and
attention to decency.
