Mostly our fault though... it's not like we do anything (such as make movies or games) showing that we were actually there, and we actually made a contribution.
The Dutch hold the Canadians in great esteem!!! "Modesty" I witnessed that in 1994 when I was with the Jock veterans. The parade began with the Canadians leading, when the pipes and drums started up, the Canadians parted and told the Jocks to lead !!!!! because they were fighting under command of, and beside the Canadian army, and had liberated the particular town. It was a brilliant touch.
