Hi guys,

Identification time again. The attachment is an extract of a large pic sent to me from Holland. Explanation:

.....made in 1945 at Hilversum in front of a school; the Ruysdaelschool, showing 155 Canadian Soldiers....

The sender of this email was four years old at the time. They'd like to have a unit identification. Can you help?
Geoff;

This picture might be post war (5 May +), Hilversum was in the I Cdn Corps area of operations. That being said, Geoff could you post another 'extract' from the larger picture, the 'troops' photographed could be a 'mixed bag', although, I agree with Bill, the picture you have posted, is of Highland/Scottish troops of the Cdn 3rd Inf Div.

Cheers
