Liberation Of S-hertogenbosch

Thomas McCall · 28-10-2004, 11:37 PM

60 years ago today men of the 53rd Welsh Division took part in what is called their finest battle which was the liberation of S-Hertogenbosch, Holland. By doing this they helped open the way to Antwerp.

Remembering all those who fell.

A great division under whose command the Regiment in which I served, the North Irish Horse, was placed when we arrived in Germany, January 1946.

This is the Divisional Flash from a 1945 Christmas Card I have:

And this is a map of their battlefields from the same card - it's nice, isn't it?!

My family is from Den Bosch and we do remember those who came to liberate our town.
