B/128032 Trooper FARAGHER, Arnold B.

[Hanno Spoelstra]

In memory of our friend Arnold, who passed away a little over a year now.

The attached picture was taken when he received the "Thank You Medal". The Dutch gave this commemorative medal to the Canadian vets who went back to Holland in 1995. Later they decided to present one to all of the Canadian vets who liberated Holland, whether they had been able to return to Holland or not. The Dutch/Canadian Legion from Ontario delivered the medal for Arnold to his son Bert, who presented it to his father during a family luncheon with 19 of his immediate family gathered. This was early in April 2002, just short of a year since Arnold and his wife Marjorie visited Holland.
