Hi Terry

I have not read this regimental history and a quick internet search Abe/Stone etc shows it to not be available.
In the past regimental histories I have bought have often been frustrating in their lack of information, but I would pursue a copy of Jackson if it had info I am seeking.

It is clear from my reading and research that 2CAB and 4 CAB's role in Normandy has been largely unrecognised (outside of Canada!). They bore a lot of fighting, were not always the best led or trained and suffered heavy casualties as a consequence. Bit like the Australians in North Africa...

For example 4CAB had no exercises after Mar 44 and then BCR were expected to breakthrough German lines and seize Pt 195 at night during Totalize.0

Alos SFR were not at full strength at Authie on 7 June as some tanks had only just come ashore from LSTs, so their performance is even more significant in giving 12th SS a bloody nose.

Cheers
