Great images Kyt.

 

Definitely a follower of Juno Beach. Canadian eh?

My books if any queries:

1. Lance Goddard: D-Day Juno Beach - Canada's 24 Hours of Destiny
2. Terry Copp: Fields of Fire - The Canadians in Normandy
3. Ted Barris: JUNO - Canadians at D-Day June 6, 1944
4. Blake Heathcote: Testaments of Honour - Personal Histories of Canada's War Veterans
5. Blake Heathcote: A Soldier's View - Personal Photographs of Canadians At War 1939-1945

Also I can suggest for good short stories of Canada's role in past and present wars, the on-line version of our Legion Magazine.

Legion Magazine

My favourite of that is the series on the VC winners. I have the print copies if anyone is interested in that topic and needs information.
