Liberty Tour 2016, The Netherlands
5 May is Liberation Day in the Netherlands. Initially a celebration of being freed from the oppressor, today it is much more a celebration of peace in the broadest sense of the word which is expressed in multiple ways.
I took part in the Liberty Tour which followed the route of the Princess Irene Brigade in May 1945 to liberate the Western part of The Netherlands - see http://www.route-irenebrigade.nl/wp/...-liberty-tour/ for more info. At centre stage were the runners who brought the Liberation Flame from Wageningen to The Hague. They were escorted by a column of 50-odd HMV's. Mostly jeeps, beeps & jimmies, but also me in my F15A, another F15A, two Scout Cars, one Halftrack, a GPA and a Kübelwagen. Pics to follow later!
