According to the story from the relatives of soldier Arie Rietveld, Andries died on May 12, 1940 in the Torenschool (Brouwersdijk / Bosboom-Toussaintstraat) in Dordrecht.
A number of Dutch men had taken refuge here, this in connection with the firefights with the landed German Fallschirmjager in the Weizigtpark. He was taken to a nearby emergency hospital, but unfortunately this was of no avail.

After the capitulation, soldier Arie Rietveld traveled by boat to Tholen (then still an island) to pass on the last moments and the loss of Andries to the widow and their 7 children.

Andries is buried in the municipal cemetery in Tholen.
