Canadian WWII veterans, ages 96 to 105, return to Apeldoorn for Liberation parade

Twenty Canadian World War II veterans, aged between 96 and 105, returned to the Netherlands this week to participate in the 80th anniversary liberation parade in Apeldoorn, despite serious concerns in recent years that their age and health would prevent such a reunion, NOS reported.

A group of Canadian veterans and cadets are travelling from commemoration to commemoration these days. The Netherlands is remembering the victims of the Second World War.

More than 20 Canadian veterans, who fought 80 years ago during the Second World War, are present at the Street Parade Apeldoorn. Relatives of Canadian soldiers and children of Dutch veterans also come to Apeldoorn.
