Biography

On the General Cemetery Groenendaal in 's-Hertogenbosch is the grave of Bram Lafeber and Frans Moussault.

On 11 November 1944, the two boys were killed by when they were playing with a grenade they had found. The grenade exploded and killed the two young boys instantly. This tomb is very uncommon and special because the manner of death has been sculpted into the monument; two little boys playing with a grenade and a overarching guardian takes the boys to heaven.
