In WWII the Canadians liberated the Dutch people from the Germans. Because of this, the Dutch people were very thankful towards the Canadians. They made a specific burial place for the Canadian soldiers who had died. 
There are these two big buildings on the side of the entrance that that have engravings that told of all the different parts of the Army that served. Along the wall, there were new wreaths of flowers that showed that people still cared about the sacrifices the Canadians made.
It was very humbling to see all of the people who are buried over-seas, and all because of a cause that they believed in that saved (and lost) so many lives.

In the graveyard there were over 200 Canadian graves, and around 30 graves for English and American soldiers. In the centre there was a huge obilisk-like thing that had a huge sword on top of it at the centre of the graves.
