Huis Doorn
After the Ciney, Belgium Show, Remy and I had the opportunity to visit House Doorn in the Netherlands. This was Kaiser Wilhelm II home in exile until his death in 1941. Before we tell you about our visit we want to give you a little background on its importance.

History
Before World War I and the time of mechanized armies there was the Age of Kings.
The great armies of the late 1900’s were heirs to a rich military heritage. These armies embodied the spirit and national identity of the nations they served. There are few alive today who have witnessed the pomp and grandeur of a great military parade of the pre 1914 era.
The pageantry of processions of cavalry troops, artillery columns and massed infantry in colorful uniforms and headgear must have been a fantastic sight.
