Sherman Firefly on D-Day
 

Hi guys,
Anybody can confirm if any Sherman Firefly were used by the Fort Garry Horse or The Sherbrooke Fusiliers regiment on D-Day and the following days after june 6th 1944 ?? I know that these two regiments have supported the men of the Regiment De La Chaudiere in some operation in Normandy, and i want to build a diorama showing one of these operations but i was not sure if i can mix a Firefly with some guys of the "Chauds"..
Thanks for your help and sorry for my english..

Luc;

The Fort Garry Horse did on 6 June, I'll post more tomorrow.

Cheers :)

Luc,

You have asked this question before. The answer w.r.t. the Sherbrooke Fusiliers is still the same.

Please note that only the LCT Serials landed on D-Day. The LST’s that were carring the Sherbrooke's only arrived in Normandy a few days later.

Note that on the table the Sherman V(C) is the Firefly.
