Canadian War Cemetery, Groesbeek, Holland on 7 May 1980 at 11: am. Donor: Isabel Murray Cochrane. Framed by J.W. Bathurst The Groesbeek Canadian War Cemetery and Memorial is located about three kilometres north of the town of Groesbeek, Netherlands. The cemetery contains 2,338 Canadian soldiers of World War II. The cemetery is unique in that many of the dead were brought here from nearby Germany. It is one of t2 he few cases where bodies were moved across international frontiers. It is believed that all fallen Canadian soldiers of the Rhineland battles, who were buried in German battlefields, were reinterred here (except for one who is buried in Reichswald Forest War Cemetery). General H.D.G. Crerar, who commanded Canadian land forces in Europe, ordered that Canadian dead were not to be buried in German soil. Thousands of Dutch children tend the graves of the soldiers buried here as they do throughout the Netherlands. NOTE: In looking at the CWGC Casualty List, there only appears to be one Canadian Seaforth buried there - A/107982 Pte John J. CAULLAY who died on 08 April 1945. There are 4 Imperial Saeforths resting there. (List attached).
