When the shells start coming at you, it's, it's a hell of a thing, I know that. I know Gordie *inaudible* and Leo Smith, they were layers in a gun, two and three. And the, and the Germans were firing, firing the artillery shells and some shrapnel got flying around. One of them got it here, and the other one got it there. Now that's only two of them. But when you move to them graves and see them bringing in truckloads of dead soldiers, it's a, now I mean truckloads, and they're not only in two's, they're piled and, it's a hell of a feeling. Only Holland, you should see their cemeteries, they're something out of this world, they really, they do a great job. And the kids, when you go to Holland and you're walking down the street and if you got Canada on, kids come, kids come up to you, "Hi Canada!" and throw their arms around your leg.
