This video documents the liberation of the Dutch town of Aalten on March 31, 1945. My uncle, Lt Eric Spark, MC, Royal Engineers, triggered a mine and died there early in the morning of that day. We remember him.

    evil thrives where good men stand by and do nothing.

    This man didn't stand by and do nothing - he was very brave. God bless him.
