Dutch historians are trying to trace the families of five Merseyside soldiers killed during Second World War fighting as part of efforts to honour their memory. In the Commonwealth War Graves cemetery in Overloon, in south east Holland, 281 troops are buried, 280 of them British.
Many of them were killed in the Battle of Overloon, on October 16, 1944, as allied forces faced up to the German invasion.
