Sergent Harvey Coulter Todd
Harvey Todd warned his men to to careful about stepping on mines, and ironically it was a mine he stepped on that took his life. The day before his death, it is reported all the officers in his battalion were killed, except one lieutenant, and that morning the lieutenant was killed so Harvey was in charge of the whole battalion.
He kept telling them to be careful of land mines and they were running into gun fire all the time so Harvey and a few others got strayed to the left of the others trying to move around the gun nest. They had thrown everything they could at the gun nest, grenades, etc. and still they found it almost too much so were trying to get around it. They were walking up a road to get back to their company when Harvey stepped on a mine.

CIMETIÈRE DE GUERRE CANADIEN DE HOLTEN Pays-Bas
Holten est un village qui se situe 20 kilomètres à l'est de la ville de Deventer, sur la route principale A1 reliant Amsterdam à Brême en Allemagne. Après avoir dépassé l'autoroute A1, quittez la route à l'intersection Holten qui débouche sur la N322. Lorsque vous apercevez un panneau indiquant la direction de Holten, continuez sur la N322 jusqu'à ce que vous arriviez à un panneau pour Holtenberg. Suivez ces panneaux jusqu'à ce que vous arriviez à un carrefour giratoire où vous verrez un panneau de la Commission qui dirige les visiteurs vers Molenberterweg. Cette route mène à la première droite sur la Holtenbergerweg. La Holtenbergerweg conduit à une piste non-métallique appelée Wullenbergweg. Après avoir suivi la piste jusqu'au bout, tournez à gauche et le cimetière s'étend sur 50 mètres sur le côté gauche.
