 | The Killing Place Just a little way away in the woods around "Kamp Vught" is the Killing Place. The camp was not a extermination camp ( no gas chambers) but terrible cruelties were perpetrated there. Mostly those that were executed were shot at the Killing Place. The Butts (sand bank) in b&w photo from 1944, is approximately where the memorial wall (2004) is now. In front of that wall of names is the original trench in front of the Butts with wooden posts still in evidence.

| Perhaps the confusion comes from the fact that HD were fighting under command of Canadians? 1st Canadians to arrive in Vught got there 6th November, and I think that was a Field Ambulance company.
