Resting up in a small Dutch town

Men of the British 2nd East Yorkshire Regiment clearing houses from the German soldiers in the city of Venray, south-east Netherlands, about 5 miles from the German border; 17 October, 1944.
    Towards the end of World War II there were a lot of battles in and around Venray, damaging large parts of the center of the city. One of the biggest tank battles between the Germans and Allies was fought in October 1944 in the vicinity of the village of Overloon, a few miles north of Venray, resulting in hundreds of casualties on both sides. Venray was not liberated until some time in 1945.
