Stormont, Dundas & Glengarry Highlanders

[clivedonahue]

Hi,
I recently visited Groosbeek Canadian War Cemetry in Nijmegen, Holland.
The Cemetry is very well maintained and keep lovely with gardens & flowers throughout.
I was able to take some picture of the Glens who are buried in a row together, all young mates together. These include, My uncle Charles Otto Donahue and alongside him is the grave of Private P.E.Mills and also G. Smith, L.C. Kaun, K.R. Meehan, J.F. Roffey, O.J. Savoie, Lt. McWilliam H.C, M.A.Ross and Pte Rhamey W.C.
I also visited a Memorial Centre Close by which lists all the solders from many different countries who were killed in the Market Garden Operation. Many items apertaining to the battles were on display as well as a scale model of Nijmegen and surrounding areas showing are the various "bridges" and 30 Corpes route to Arnhem. "Brings a Bridge to Far" into perspective.
I could only spend a couple of hours but there is so much to see and read a full day would have been better, perhaps next time.
