Label TextLondoner Irene Brown (1893-1978) received the Dutch wooden clog from M. K. Roblin. It is engraved “M.K.R. Holland ’45.” Perhaps Roblin was part of the First Canadian Army. From September 1944 to April 1945, Canadians fought German forces in the Netherlands. They opened the country to food and other aid as they cleared out the German forces.
