The Netherlands on Sunday marked 80 years since it was liberated from Nazi occupation during the Second World War.

Canadian troops played a vital role in that liberation and several travelled to the Dutch town of Holten attend a commemorative ceremony at the Holten Canadian War Cemetery.

“They would have been well aware that these could be the last lands they would ever contest in this epic struggle of good vs. evil,” Gov. Gen. Mary Simon said during her remarks as an honoured guest.

“In this quiet, hallowed ground, their sacrifice is eternally honoured.”
