Off to Holland again first week of May. This year I am planning to visit the "Island" and follow the evacuation route of operation Noah, when the Germans succeeded in blowing the Dyke in the Seaforths area December 3rd 1944.
The operation order from 5th Camerons can be seen here, 51 Highland Division Website : Accounts
Once I have the full itinerary I will advise of any Cemetery's that I will be visiting.
The order states that they expected 3 feet of water, That was true if you were on the raised roads. In the fields etc it reached 6 feet plus.
