Soldiers are lined up at the grave crosses at the Waalsdorpervlakte in the dunes near The Hague; torches illuminate this place; soldiers and civilians stand motionless while they hold two minutes of silence; afterwards the people march past the crosses; shots of the two minutes of silence as they were held in the large cities have been edited into this item: soldiers stand to attention; civilians stand still in the streets; traffic has come to a halt, etc.
