Jack Unknown
We are looking for Jack. Jack was one of the liberators of Rotterdam, the Netherlands, in May 1945. He possibly stayed near the Kralingse Plas in Rotterdam but was also able to go elsewhere in the city. It is known that there were soldiers at the beach of the Kralingse Plas. Whether there was also a tent camp is not known.
Canadian and English soldiers entered Rotterdam in May 1945. Army units that had set up their camp in the city are:
4th Princess Louise Dragoon Guards,
Seaforth Highlanders,
Saskatoon Light Infantry.
Jack may have been a soldier inside one of these units.
Whether there were other units in town is unknown.
