TROOPS FROM HOME
Canadian connection along the Rhine

From the Drachenfels—

* dragon's rock—the Rhine

stretches north 16. miles

where, ona clear day, youcan .

spot the twin spires of Cologne
Cathedral.

The spires, spared from air
raids in the Second World
War, look down on the
adjoining Hohenzollern

Bridge just as they did that

- December day in 1918 when

the ist Canadian Division
erosyed the Rhine to establish
an armistice bridgehead.
Ten miles south of the Dra-
chenfels, obscured by, wooded
hills, are the blackened
stumps of the Ludendorff
railway bridge at Remagen.

Twice in less than 30 years
this bridge fell into American
hands.

On thesame day i in 1918 that

the Ist Canadian Division’

crossed the Rhine at Cologne,
the 2nd. Canadian Division
crossed at Bonn and the 42nd
U.S. Rainbow Division under
Gen. Douglas ‘MacArthur

crossed at Remagen.

The 1st Canadian Division
occupied a dynamite factory
and other industrial ‘plants
thal still exist downstream
from Cologne. » Canadian
soldiers were billeted’ in’
places like Trolsdorf, Porz
and Wahn.
