This picture was taken in Stratford, Ontario, Canada in 1942.
Dutch volunteers who were living abroad when Holland was invaded by the NAZIS, were told to report to Canada for training to liberate Holland. They were stationed in a building which was the former McLagan Furniture Factory located on 93 Trinity Street in Stratford, Ontario which was transformed into the Princess Juliana Barracks. The Dutch troops were trained here from January 1941 until Autumn 1942 when many left for England to be assigned to different military units.
