Yes mate, my family came from Hillegom and I still have an aunty there, though she is old now. I loved the "Thread" showing photos of Canadian troops when they liberated Hillegom on the 8th May 1945.

In one photo which shows a young man with his hand on the Jeep neer the Tack sign, when I forwarded this to my Aunty she was surprised and wrote back that he was the brother of her brothers wife.

Hillegome was a small place and everyone knew each other. There was a book written after the war, " Hillegome 1941 - 1945" under German occupation, I bought the book during one of my visits to Holland, however I lent it to a relative who passed away and the book is lost. It covered a lot about the town and refers to many of my family relatives. It also shows a photograph of a group of people in the town during liberation and shows me as a small boy with my aunty. My family immigrated to Australia in 1950.

Cheers

Little Jo
