“After 77 years, the people of The Netherlands still daily celebrate their freedom, given to us by brave men and women like Mr. Walter Knight. We can’t thank them enough for the incredible sacrifices they made by fighting to liberate a country they hardly knew anything about. It did not only provide us with our freedom, but also resulted in the best British – Dutch relationship imaginable, which undoubtedly will be forwarded to the next generations.”
