In 1944 during the d-day invasion they captured Caen. My granddad was a part of this division.
Not sure what your question is, but my dad was in the 2nd Battalion Lincolnshire Regiment and was driving a water tanker in the Transport Echelon when he and many others were captured at Poperinge in Belgium, close to Dunkirk, on 26th May 1940.
Any help?
