I'd be happy to.
The distance between the place where I was born and the location of the Nijmegen march is almost 160 kilometres. It's over 180, to be honest. If you went from Nijmegen to Heerlen, in Limburg, you would have it.
I also told him that Limburg was actually liberated by the U.S.A.'s army, the Kentucky brigade. The Canadians did everything north of it. The coal mines are in southern Holland, in Limburg, and the Americans had the vehicles to do that; whereas the Canadians did all the foot work and the trudging through the mud and everything else. The Poles and the Brits were up in the northern parts.
If you went from Nijmegen to Heerlen, you'd be doing the Nijmegen march all the way down south. You're going down and over hills, though, and it would be a lot harder.
Thanks, again.
I do have a trade secret I'd like you to share with me. What's in the CamelBak? Some guys say it's Gatorade; some say it's energy water. What do you prefer in your CamelBak, Sergeant MacIntyre?
