Perths went they were traveler, Lloyd "Casey" . During their stay in .Sneek received with magnificent Casemor, recently returned the soldiers were billeted in hospitality and presented from a seven -week trip to Europe which he termed his, "best yet", a sentimental journey marking the 40th anniversary of the end of World War II. After leaving April 11, Mr. Casemore found himself at the, centre of a flurry of activity of parades, ceremonies- "and -reunions with other members of ,the Perth Regiment who helped to liberate Holland in April of 1945.. On April 18 he was one of a number of Canadians to be presented with the Erasmus Medallion by the Nether lands ,Ministry of Foreign Affairs to commemorate fighting in the Netherlands 40 years ago. Erasmus is believed to have been born in Rotterdam in 1466. The famous philosopher . wasrenowned as the most scholarly humanist of his time. Erasmus University in Rotterdam _s_name-4 after him. He was the author of many books and regularly wielded his pen in the service of peace. The Latin text on the fi reverse of the medallion translates as follows: "Constancy is not always to say the same thing, but always to persist in thesame thing." Mr. Casemore visited Harderwijk, one of the towns I the Perth Regiment helped liberate on April 18, 1945. He was an honored guest at the town's 40th anniversary celebration of the liberation, • the only Canadian -veteran present. Later that evening Mr. Casemore was the,guest of J: E. Van Boeijen of Har- . derwi jk, the Dutch equival- ent of a mayor, and several friends at a local hotel. private homes and devel- oped many close friendships. On May 3 of this year, 60 Perth Regiment veterans and their wives arrived in Sneek where some stayed wife the same families they had beep , billeted with 40 years 'ago.' 'Many 'other families in Sneek opened their homes to the veterans and it was like one big family, reunion, according to Mr. Casemore. Several parades were held in Sneek, as well as Delzijl and Harderwijk, two other places the Perths had helped to liberate. Everywhere' the with many gifts. Mr. Casemore made several other observations about Europe 40 years after the end of • the war. A purely European war today is "unthinkable" in his estimation, but Europe still is plagued by difficulties such as high unemployment, racism and terrorism. Today the scars, of World War II have become mostly a memory. The nations of Western Europe enjoy some of the highest rates of per- sonal income in the world and along with it, increased prosperity. "The countries in Eastern Europe are not quite so fortunate where wages are about 55 per cent that of Western Europe. Mr. Casemore said there is no question the people of Europe want to see the East- West blocks dissolved and the border restrictions loosened. "As your writer who slugged his way up through Italy to. Northwest . Europe with the Canadian-Arr iy considers post-war recon- struction of the continent; (I must say it is) one of the wonders of the world." Mr. Casemore reports there still is much building going on in Europe, especially the •building of new homes. Mr. Casemore also visited Keukenhof for the .fourth year in a row. He said tourists come from all over the world to visit this park which has a 70 -acre display of .magnificent spring flowers. SENTIMENTAL JOURNEY The trip back to Holland 40 years after the liberation truly was a "sentimental journey" for members of the Perth Regiment, Mr. Casemore said. Last September members of the regiment were invited back to Sneek for the liberation anniversary celebration. Sneek is located in the province of Freisland and Mr, Casemore said it is surrounded by large, beautiful dairy farms. After V -F Day in Europe in May of 1945, the Perths were stationed in Sneek for five months until they retprned to ( KIM SWITZER of Wingham is given a helping hand by librarian Doris Bushell in making her book selection recently at the Wingham library..
