75 years ago, so did people in Holland; and just like today it was Canadians in the front line who faced the enemy face to face without regard of their own life. At this time in 1945 they were moving North from Zwolle towards Groningen. They got help from the free Polish army who took their right flank through Drente. They were still unaware of the difficulties that faced them ahead but kept slugging on.<\/p>\n

At the Branch things are still the same even though at this time we usually get ready to remember\u00a0VE Day on May 8th. In the Netherlands all festive events are cancelled, but silent remembrances for the fallen soldiers and civilians will take place.\u00a0ALL Canadian veterans will be in our thoughts at this time while once again our soldiers are called upon to help with the battle against COVID-19.<\/p>\n
