Notice:

The National Inventory of Canadian Military Memorials is a public, crowd-sourced registry that helps Canadians learn about memorials in their communities. Inclusion in the Inventory does not imply VAC ownership or authority. Responsibility for the care, management, and any changes to a memorial rests with its owning or governing organization.

This plaque is dedicated to the members of the Fort Garry Horse who participated in the liberation of The Netherlands in 1944-45. It was donated to the regiment by the Dutch-Canadian community in Winnipeg in May 1970.
