These men lost their lives at Holten – Holland. Buried at Almelo cemetery.
I should like to get in touch with Garry Woodman Simmons, who passed in the photograph.
(I was born in Holten and did research regarding this tragedy)
I am curious who is who in that picture and the source from where Garry got it.
