Very nice. I couldn't help but notice how pretty girls seem to be attracted to Bren carrier crews.

There is an unusual sight at about 8:13, of an old woman wearing glasses but also something shiny around the back and sides of her head. Is this jewellry or an unconventional style of eyeglasses frame?

Footage Holland
Terry,
This old woman lived in Hierden. This is a farming village near Harderwijk. She is wearing original costumes from this region. This also includes the "kapspeld" with glasses on. |

You have increased my cultural awareness of the coastal regions of the Netherlands. Thank you.

Harderwijk is a small town in central Holland. About 80 km east of Amsterdam. South of it is the Veluwe, this is a wooded area.
It is located on the former Zuiderzee and April 18, 1945 liberated by the Canadians. Here, the liberators were helped by "Binnenlandse Strijdkrachten" (Interior Forces). It was a big party. |
