It was Canada’s wartime honour to help the loyal Dutch

Laureen Harper spoke at the Canadian war cemetery at Groesbeeck in Holland to commemorate Victory in Europe 70 years ago. There were 7,200 Canadian army deaths during the final campaign to free Holland. Much is said and correctly so about the long and friendly memory of the Netherlands people. For Canada’s part, it becomes clearer with each year that it was our honour to be able to help the loyal Dutch.
