Between 4-9 March 1945 an action took place around the village of Veen, some five kilometres to the south of Xanten. It was thought to be lightly defended but the Canadians found themselves faced with heavy enemy fire from houses which had been turned into pillboxes. The war diary described the fighting as bitter and fierce and the German resistance as ‘fanatic.’
Arnold Reilston Allen was killed in this action on 5 March.
