hey bigfun anymore on the date - time-month yet from your relatives...... ?

Northern Holland was liberated on May 8th 1945 and the Candians were the first to move in there. Before that they were more or less on a south west and the south front line going from the rhine to Arhnem. This however explains why the Dutch particulary appreciate RCAF crews because Canada is linked to their liberty, even if the other nationalities in the Raf had thier share too and are equally appreciated.
