Highland Light Infantry of Canada, R.C.I.C.

On February 11, 1945, the Highland Light Infantry advanced to Düffelward, captured the village, and in the afternoon, they occupied Wardhausen.
Then, together with the Stormont, Dunas & Glengarry Highlanders, they liberated the entire area up to and including the Spoy Canal in the evening.
Many people were killed and wounded during this heavy fighting under challenging conditions—wet, cold, and bad roads in the Battle of the Rhineland. Anger was also a victim during one of the last battles in this terrible war. With his company on their way to Düffelward, they came under heavy machine gun fire, and Anger was also mortally wounded.
Carl Leslie Anger died on this dark day; it was February 11, 1945, and he was only twenty-one.
