Today we went into the Reichswald Forest to see the War Cemetery named after it. It was a two hour dive into Germany from Lochem.


This cemetery contains over 7000 commonwealth soldiers and is the largest of all the commonwealth cemeteries.

We then spent time at the crossroads near the Cleve Gennep roads (the former town of Heccken). This was a major crossroads and battle and dad would have travelled through here.

The Rhine lies behind this farm.

This is where the 4 th Canadian Division crossed the Rhine River.
