Sentimental journey
Casemore spent seven weeks in Europe on this visit and was at the
centre of a whirlwind of activity to celebrate the anniversary of V -E
Day. (Photo by the Leeuwarder Courant, Leeuwarder, The
Netherlands.)
Recent European trip called
'best yet' by L. Casemore
Wingham's most -seasoned . Stratford in January of 1946. 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
