    As many will know September of 1944 was the battle of Arnhem.But I wonder how many people of Dover realise that between 26th and the 29th of September a battle took place to capture Calais thus stopping the shelling of Dover,the main units involved were Canadian infantry supported by tanks of the 141st regiment of the RAC[the Buffs] our own county regiment. The dead of this battle are buried in the Canadian military cemetery just off the A16 between Calais and Boulogne. Many times I have suggested that the someone representing the civil authorities should lay a wreath to say thank you. But I am not holding my breath.
