Monument The Guard
The monument 'The Guard' in The Hague was erected on the occasion of the end of military service in 1996.
With the monument, artist Shinkichi Tajiri wants to express the apparent contradiction between 'giving up your freedom' and 'serving and protecting freedom'.
The initiative for establishing the monument for the conscripts was taken by the two former conscript unions VVDM and AVNM.
