Where was Canada on d-day?

Answer 1

Canada was fighting along side the Allied Forces with Britain, France, The U.S. and Poland. Very sad times for the whole world. The Canadians were assigned to take Juno Beach, an eight-kilometre stretch that included the fortified coastal towns of St. Aubin, Bernieres-sur Mer, Courselles-sur Mer and Graye-sur Mer (east to west). The Canadian 3rd Division, commanded by Major-General Rod Keller, would attack "two brigades up” with the 8th Brigade – comprised of the North Shore (New Brunswick) Regiment, the Queen’s Own Rifles of Canada, the Regiment de la Chaudriere and the duplex-drive, or “swimming” tanks of the Fort Garry Horse (10th Canadian Armoured Regiment) – landing on the left from St. Aubin to Bernieres. The 7th Brigade – comprised of the Regina Rifles, the Royal Winnipeg Rifles, the Canadian Scottish Regiment and DD tanks of the 1st Hussars (6th Canadian Armoured Regiment) - would land between Bernieres and Graye. The 9th Brigade – comprised of the Highland Light Infantry of Canada, The Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry Highlanders, the North Nova Scotia Highlanders and tanks of the Sherbrook Fusiliers (27th Canadian Armoured Regiment) - would be in Division reserve, and would ultimately follow the 8th Brigade ashore. In addition the self-propelled .105 mm artillery guns of the 12th, 13th, 14th and 19th Canadian Field Regiments would take part in the assault, providing off-shore fire support on the run into the beaches, and then setting up ashore as soon as the infantry units had established a beachhead. Along with the Canadians, elements of the British 76th Armoured Division, with tanks specially designed to tackle the beach defenses, would land in support. As well, combat teams from the British Royal Marine 48th and 46th Commandos would also land on the far eastern end of Juno to provide a link between the Canadians and the 3rd British Division landing further east on Sword Beach.
