One of my boys was stationed in Germany in the late 90’s flying for NATO so we made a trip during which we traced the route taken by my fathers Coy from Normandy to northern Germany. We visited several CDN war cemeteries In France and Holland to pay respects. The cemeteries in Holland are immaculately kept by locals and students ... still appreciative of the Canadians that volunteered to liberate them ... never to return home.
