Vets_Dottir - History Television is running a week of D-Day shows. Some of them are the same old, same old. Last night (Monday) they ran one called "D-Day on Juno Beach" (Turning Points of History) which had a good information on the Royal Winnipeg Rifles and their first few days in Normandy. Close to the end they showed a monument or plaque with a number of names from the RWR that were killed there. There were a couple of "Smiths" and I'm sure there was an "E. Smith" that I saw. There were also a number of interviews and comments by some of those from that unit that landed on D-Day. I think they will be running the show again on Sunday around dinner time and again very late the same night. May be worth your while to check it out?
