Default 1953 Flood

In response to this flood Canada sent food and clothing as aid to the Netherlands. A portion of the clothing consisted of early 1950s dated battledress and 1940s army cadet uniforms.

I was surprised to caissons from the Mulberry harbour used in dyke repair.

Many countries sent help in many ways and forms.
