Searching for his picture for a long time I ended up in Steep Creek SK. A volunteer from the PA Historical Society came up with this picture. The picture will also be given to www.facestograves.nl We are working hard to get a as complere picture base as possible of all the fallen Canadians at Groesbeek and other Canadian War Cemeteries in Holland. All in preparation for the 75th Anniversary of LIBERATION in Western Europe. -
Grave Marker
My Dad is/was Canadian with the name of Patrick Bertram Mackay and he made it through the war. But in Holland when visiting our Canadian Cemeteries I will always look for similar names. Today May 4th is the day of our Annual National Remembrance of the WWII deaths, DODENHERDENKING Thats why I have visited this Cemetery and planted a flag

GROESBEEK CANADIAN WAR CEMETERY Netherlands
Groesbeek is located 10 km south east of the town of Nijmegen and close to the German frontier. The Groesbeek Canadian War Cemetery is 3 km north of the village and 1500 metres east of the main road to Nijmegen. On leaving the A73 motorway at the junction Overasselt Mook Groesbeek follow directions to Mook. Follow direction signs towards Mook War cemetery. After passing Mook War cemetery continue to the village of Groesbeek to a set of traffic lights. Turn left at the lights onto Dorpstraat passing through Groesbeek. The road name then changes to Molenweg. A Commonwealth War Graves Commission direction sign indicates the right hand turning from Molenweg onto the Zeven Heuvelenweg. The Groesbeek Canadian War Cemetery is located on the right hand side, about 1 km after entering this road.
On the Memorial in the Canadian War Cemetery at Groesbeek are inscribed the following words:
Pro amicis mortui amicis vivimus, We live in the hearts of friends for whom we died.
