This is a picture/ photograph of memorial stone, situated outside the museum, presented by Dutch citizens, who the Cameronians regiment helped liberate in 1944. The plaque commemorates the role that the Cameronians played in the action to help open the vital port of Antwerp. Operation Vitality and Operation Infatuate were aimed at capturing South Beveland and the island of Walcheren to open the mouth of the Scheldt estuary, thus enabling the Allies to use the port of Antwerp as a supply route for the troops in North-West Europe.
