49th (WR) Division also had no role in the crossing of the Rhine (Operation Plunder) at the end of March. By now it was part of Netherlands District under First Canadian Army. However, during early April the division began the task of clearing The Island. Its last major operation was the Liberation of Arnhem (Operation Quick Anger), which took four days (12–16 April) and involved an assault crossing of the IJssel after which heavy equipment was rafted across by the Sappers. The division then cleared the Northern Netherlands. In late April there was a ceasefire in the Northern Netherlands while food supplies were air-dropped to the Dutch population in the area still under German occupation (Operation Manna). The German surrender at Lüneburg Heath followed on 4 May.
