    Have added a new page and pictures to my website relating to Heusden Holland. On November 6th 1944, 5TH Camerons entered and liberated the small town of Heusden. The Town Hall had been blown up with 130 women and children inside. It is suggested that 10% of the population were lost in this one incident.

    Very interesting Richard.
    Yet another reason as you said not to take the SS prisoner.

    PS The link to www .salha.nl came up with an ntl error page so went to site directly.
