  • Photo of Nelson Bryde– Rond de bevrijding op 1 april 1945 van Borculo kregen mijn grootouders, de fam. Heinen, Canadese militairen in huis. Ik weet niet hoeveel militairen er waren, ik denk drie: William Synden, Ronald Bush en Nelson Bryde. Op de foto staat rechts Nelson. De andere militair ken ik niet. Nelson is op de avond vóór het vertrek met zijn jeep verongelukt op de Grolsche Steeg in Borculo. ------------------- Around the liberation of Borculo on April 1, 1945, my grandparents, the Heinen family, received Canadian soldiers into their home. I don't know how many soldiers there were, I think three: William Synden, Ronald Bush and Nelson Bryde. Nelson is on the right in the photo. I don't know the other soldier. Nelson crashed his jeep on the Grolsche Steeg in Borculo the evening before departure.
