    Nice pic. Thanks.
    Gives the term 'Allies' a much deeper meaning when you see the degree of cooperation and interaction between British and Canadian forces.

    Reminds me of Wanningen (I think that was the place) Holland 1994. The 51HD Veterans return to Holland met up with the Canadian Vets for a march through the town. As the band struck up the Canucks parted and insisted that the 'Jocks' (90% of which were other nationalities) lead the parade, nice touch I thought. Poor old Archie Fox (canloan) didn't know whether to stay or go.!!! It was a brilliant day for all concerned.

    Richard - that'll be Wageningen, west of Arnhem, where all the veteran parades were held. It was at Wageningen, in hotel 'De Wereld' (the world), that the negotiations for the surrender of the last German troops, still holding out in the west of Holland took place. They capitulated on May 5th, 1945. Since then the Dutch 'National Liberation Day'.

    Hi Tom
    I just saw this and a while back while having a beer at the local I was talking to acquaintance about all things ww2 and he told me that his Uncle served in North africa with the British armour. No amount of pursation could convince him otherwise so therefore it must be so.
