I found this and thought you might find it of interest,
From the War Diary of the Royal Winnipeg Rifles:
....A very special note, too, should be made about the general tone of the Bn during this day called D - 6 Jun 44. Not one man flinched from his task, no matter how tough it was - not one officer failed to display courage and energy and a degree of gallantry. It is thought that the Little Black Devils, by this days success, has managed to maintain the tradition set by former members. Casualties for the day exceeded 130."
I also found the War Diary page for 8 Jun 44 and will post it later for you.
Cheers

Yes Mark... VERY interesting. War diaries. Were the Commanding Officers the ones who did the diaries? It's so amazing that we can sit here and actually read them!
OF COURSE I'm VERY interestd in the entries for June 8.
Is there a published book of these diaries for Normandy time?
Thanks loads Mark...for these latest photos and posts.
