We were kids of about 6 years old when our village Heiloo, 20 miles North of Amsterdam, Holland, was liberated on May 8, 1945 by a Canadian army unit.
We have a picture of us kids with a Canadian by the name of E.Macksey in front of his truck.
We would like to know whether anyone knows his whereabouts and/or whether he is still alive.
He possibly originated from Sakatchewan. We estimate his age in 1945 around 20 years, so he must be in his 70‘s now.
Many thanks your help.

One of the easiest way‘s is finding out what arm of the Army he was in i.e. Engineer‘s, Armoured etc.
and from there using date‘s you could find out which unit‘s ,then nominal roll.
