The first monument is in Aruba - For Those Who Died.

The next monument is also in Curacao in the Military Cemetery and is in memory of members of the Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders.  It is interesting to note that although the monument is in Curacao the men seemed to be listed as being in Aruba.  This photo was supplied by Mr. Joop Kooijman (The Antillean Navigator).
