John at the Overloon War Museum in the Netherlands. There was an extensive display of army vehicles and we were trying to find one that resembled something Gramps might have used during the war. The sound effects in the large room where the vehicles were kept really added to the display.
In Nijmegen we found the Chapel in the photo Gramps had brought back with him in September of 1945. We'll never know the significance of the photo, but it was quite something to think he may have been there.
John and Cathy in front of St. Nicholas Chapel, Nijmegen, the Netherlands. The Glens were in this area in November/December of 1944.
"A Bridge Too Far"The Nijmegen Bridge over the River Waal - defended by the Glens in Nov./Dec. 1944.
The bicycle parking lot at the train station in Nijmegen. It was 2 levels and there was another bike parking lot across the street. There is an extensive bike path system everywhere you go in the Netherlands and people ride - rain or shine!!

The truck looks very much like those used in the supply convoys which Dad commanded.
