You would like to know what battle a relative fought and died in - Canadian soldier south Saskatchewan regiment buried in bretteville sur laize Canadian war cemetery?
If he is buried in that cememtery, he died sometime during the Battle of Normandy. Unfortunately "the Battle of Normandy" is an umbrella term. There were many battles within the Battle of Normandy. It covers a series of battles from the first landing at Juno Beach through the Battle of Caen and the Battle of the Falaise Gap. I can't give you an exact answer without knowing your relative's date of death. I assume that you know it. If you don't, go to the website of the Commonwealth war Graves Commission (www.cwgc.org) and look it up. The South Saskatchewan Regt. was part of the 2nd Canadian Infantry Division. Wikipedia has a good history of the 2nd Div.'s campaign in Normandy. You can find it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2nd_Canadian_Infantry_Division. That should help to to figure out the specific battle where your relative died.
