Memorial stone for Fallen Canadians
Memorial stone for Fallen Canadians
Sunday 15 April 1945, Friesland's official liberation day, was also the day Sneek welcomed the Canadian liberation forces. It had been an exciting day, and the Dutch Domestic Armed Forces (NBS) had fought quite a battle with the occupiers.
A day earlier, German troops had begun to withdraw from Sneek and the NBS had tried to hinder their retreat along the Leeuwarderweg as much as possible. Until a column of German parachute troops had entered the fray and forced the NBS to retreat.
The Waag building in the middle of the city centre was used as a weapons cache by the occupying forces during the war. To prevent it from falling into Allied hands, the fleeing troops set it on fire at around three o'clock on Sunday. Loud explosions and bangs resounded throughout the city for half an hour.
Once the enemy had left the city, the NBS operatives gathered at the HBS school for instructions and the distribution of weapons and armbands. They went into the city to round up traitors. Then, rumour had it that hundreds of German soldiers were on their way to Sneek from Lemmer. Immediately, fortifications were built at the Water gate.
Canadian units were alerted. They were now in possession of the latest defence plans for Sneek thanks to NBS intelligence and were advancing from Joure towards the town.
In the evening around half past seven, the first patrol of the Canadian infantry battalion Le régiment De La Chaudière rode into town with flame-throwers and machine guns. The German troops stayed away, and the full Canadian battalion followed.
Sneek was liberated, but freedom was not yet guaranteed as German troops tried to escape via the Afsluitdijk towards Friesland. The Canadian Regiment of the Queens Own Rifles moved through Sneek to the Afsluitdijk and fiercely fought at Wons. Six Canadian soldiers were killed. They were temporarily buried at Sneek General Cemetery. In 1946, they were reburied at the Canadian Field of Honour in Holten.
Canadian guests
While waiting to return to their homeland, hundreds of Canadian soldiers were lodged with families in Sneek for about five months. On 1 June, the Perth Regiment arrived in the town, which they temporarily renamed Stratford. They were involved in the liberation of Groningen. A committee was set up to entertain the soldiers with various activities. From dances to sailing competitions and special church services.Cordial ties developed between the liberators and the people of Sneek. And sometimes more than that. For Gordon C. Compton and Atty Bouma, one could even speak of "love at first sight". When the last soldiers return home at the end of November, Gordon decided to stay in the Netherlands. On 9 May 1946, he married Atty in Sneek. Not long after, Gordon and his "war bride" left for Canada.
Several monuments in the city recall the special bond with the Canadian military, which remains very close to this day.

Peal 8: De Helling
Peal 8: De Helling
Dit punt is ûnderdiel fan it trajekt 'It Paad Werom Terherne'. Besjoch de hiele rûte.
(harkje hjir nei it audioferhaal)
Foar dy leit de âlde helling fan Terherne. En it prachtige hûs hjir rjochts foar de bocht, wurdt yn dit jier bouwd troch de hellingbaas. Hy hat it nammentlik hiel drok. En dochs foarsjoch ik problemen yn de kommende jierren. En ik foarsiz dy dan ek dat hy binne 15 jier fallyt gean sil. Ik flústerje him dan ek yn dat er oarstappe moat op wurkje mei izer, mar hy is eigenwiis: ‘Hout sinkt net!”ropt er. En ja…. Do begrypst it al hoe’t it ôfrint mei him…..
Werom nei hjoed de dei.
We sjogge noch eefkes nei de húzen oan de oare kant fan it wetter. Hielendal op’e hoeke stiet in hûs dat útsjocht op de hjoeddeistige wite slûs fan Terherne. Witst noch dat ik it hie oer nòch in kroech op de oare úthoek fan Terherne? Dy stie dêr op dat plak. Op in úthoeke fan Terherne. It sil sa rûn 1853 west hawwe dat dizze kroech in nije namme krije moast, omt de namme doe, de “Brette Poask” referearre oan de skelnamme foar de Terhernsters. De kroechbaas ferneamde de kroech nei in oare úthoeke fan de wrâld, wêr’t yn dy tiid in oarloch fierd waard: De Krim.De Krim dus, ferneamd nei in oarloch. Yn earsten in kroech en letter in Buorkerij. Dizze buorkerij baarnde ôf yn de jierren sechtich fan de foarige ieuw. Hjir krige it toerisme ek in oare foarm. Yn de heal ôfbaarnde en opromme skuorre ûntstie in camping en der waard kampeart.
It wite hûs oan de oare kant fan de feart is in slûswachterwenning. Der wie hjir noch in kearslûs, foar stoarmeftich waar, wêr’t dizze wenning by hearde. Der is in soad bart op dit plak. Want eart dit punt fan Terherne it ekonomyske swiertepunt waard, hie Terherne al yndustry. Op it plak fan de kroech De Krim en letter de ôfbaarde kampearbuorkerij stiene dêrfoar mânske kalkovens. Myn ûnthâld jouwt oan dat dit tusken 1600 en 1840 west hat. Dit skiereilân wie dêrfoar in strategysk plak, want der koene makkelik turf en skelpen oanfierd wurde. Der stiene hjir 2 of 3 kalkovens. Mei skelpekalk waarden húzen metsele en sa hat it wite hûs oan de oare kant ek in leshûs west om de brande kalk te blussen (Dat wurdt ek wol lesse neamd). Dit ferklearret ek de lange foarm fan it hûs. It hûs hat dus mear funksjes hân. It wie in flinke yndustry foar in plakje as Terherne en troch alle tiden hinne kinne je sizze dat oan de úteinen fan Terherne de wichtige bedriuwen stiene. De farwegen wiene liedend.
Okee, we draaie ús no om. En we rinne itselde paad werom nei it boatestasjon, it begjin en einpunt fan de kuiertocht.
En dêr slute we dan ek mei ôf. Want hjir krekt foar it Skippershûs is noch in lyts stikje fan de splitsing fan ‘t âlde Far te sjen. In âld stikje farwei, wêroer’t tûzenen skippers fearn hawwe. Yn tiden mei wolfeart en yn tiden fan freeslike earmoede.
En hjir, oan de ein fan de rûte, fertel ik dy it bêst bewarre geheim fan dit doarp: Der is nammentlik gjin ferhaal, oantinken, lêste winsk of geheim dat ècht ferlern giet. Alles leit opslein, as yn in ieuwich ûnthâld, yn it wetter fan Terherne. En dit oarspronkelike stikje fan It Far is wêr’t ik se wei ha en dat is ek wêrst alyd wer nei werom keare kinst.
Wolst mear witte oer de fergetten ferhalen en de skiednis fan Terherne? En sikesto de poarte nei it ferline? Be3gjindan by dit stikje wetter en siz dúdlik myn namme: Broer Sipkes. Dan help ik dy op wei.
