Arrival to the town of Nijmegen, Netherlands

Arriving from The Front Lines of World War I, the VPD moved into the Roman-founded market town of Nijmegen, Holland and met up with 37 police officers of Den Haag police deparment from the Dutch Capital. Each Canadian police officer was assigned a Dutch police partner. Officers unpacked kit into impromptu barrack quarters made out of classrooms from a nearby city school, and got their kit ready for the Four Days March.
