Members of the Cloverdale Ladies Auxiliary went to the Vancouver International Airport on Sunday to wish a group of cadets a good journey before they departed for a tour of Europe battlefields.

Cloverdale Ladies Auxiliary President Marilyn Chepil and past branch president Anne Sharkey posed for a few pictures with a group of cadets from the British Columbia branch of the Army Cadet League of Canada on March 18.

The cadets are currently in Amsterdam, Netherlands, visiting the royal palace, Westerkerk, the Jewish Historical Museum, the Deportation Centre and the Portuguese Synagogue. Yesterday, they were scheduled to visit the home of Anne Frank.

While on their nine-day tour, the cadets will also visit Passchendaele, the In Flanders Fields Museum, Ypres, the Vimy Memorial, Juno Beach, Paris and more.
