H w a Canadian
saw Holland
Many stories have been written about the Dutch
families who came to Canada after World War II to start
new lives. Their stories recall cold winters, hard times
and upheavals, low paying jobs and language barriers.
One Canadian saw these problems from the other side.
Klompen Feest Chairman Bob Campbell of Clinton was
also taken to a foreign country where he knew neither the
language or the habits. He was one of the many Canadian
soldiers who served in northwest Europe in 1944 and 1945.
His experiences are best summarized in these words,
"So ends the glorious page of Canadian history written by
the 19th Canadian Army Field Regiment of the Royal
Canadian Artillery. From the hinterland of Canada to the
heart of the German Third Reich, came these young
Canadians, bent on a mission of liberation, proud to go
forward into battle under the flag of their country.
"Wherever the fighting was hottest, there they were
found. From the beaches of Normandy at St. Aubin-sur-
Mere and Berniere-sur-Mere, to Carpriquet, Caen,
Falaise, Trun, Bruges, Antwerp, The Schelde, Njimegen,
Cleve, Aachen, Reichwald and Hochwald Forest,
Emmerick, Kusten Canal, Oldenburg, all names that will
live forever in the minds of Canadians. And each name
marks a milestone for the men of the 19th Field. They
were there with their guns blazing, a regiment any man
would be proud to be part of."
