Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The Lady Athlone Column commemorates the Battle of Quatre-Bras (16 June 1815) and the Battle of Waterloo (18 June 1815).
(See : ► File:18_June_1815_–_Victory_at_Waterloo_–_Lady_Athlone_Column.jpg)

Its socle bears three plaques.

Shown here is the third plaque, which alludes to the retrieval and re-erection of the column after it had been surreptitiously discarded and buried in the 1930's, and its cession to the municipality of Amerongen on 3 August 1963.
It reads : In dit herdenkingsjaar // is door samenwerking der inwoners // van Amerongen deze kolom heropgericht // en door de erven // Graaf G.J.G.C. van Aldenburg Bentinck // aan de Gemeente overgedragen // 3 augustus 1963
Translation : "In this memorial year, this column was re-established by collaboration of the inhabitants of Amerongen and by the heirs Count G.J.G.C. van Aldenburg Bentinck ceded to the municipality 3 August 1963"
