Thanks! Here are some pictures of the building and a couple of displays
Amongst the many original named uniforms those of LtCol F. 'Art' SPARKS, DSO, 2nd In Command, North Nova Scotia Highlanders, 9th Infantry Brigade, 3rd Canadian Infantry Division ( Unit that liberated Knokke)
One of the displays recreates part of the Lippenslaan, the main artery of Knokke. Canadian troops gather in front of the St Moritz Hotel. This display needs some minor work to resemble the WW2 pictures we have of this location and is also temporary home of mannequins awaiting their own display, like the Dispatch Rider of the 24th Lancers, 1st Polish Armored Division.
Note the 'D-Day' Boots, typically worn by members of the 3rd ID
Some mannequins
