Flight Lieutenant Russell Reginald Bouskill
I travelled to Holland in 2005, and went to visit my great uncle's grave. I was very moved as it was the 60 year anniversary for VE day. There was a note from a young child from Oshawa Ontario which read: "Dear Canadaian soldier, I am writing you to thank you for risking your life so that we could be free. You risked your life for us, and the others you don't know. I will always be thankful. Sincerely, Carolina, Gr.3 student, Oshawa, On

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.
