Sherbrooke's Fireflies
The Sherbrooke Fusiliers had been equipped with Sherman Vc Fireflies before their embarkation for the Normandy landings. Below is a table showing the loading of the landing craft carrying the Sherbrooke Fusiliers. It is from the book “Bloody Buron! Canada’s D-Day + 1” by John Gilbert.
It shows that the Sherbrooke Fusiliers had landed on D-day with: 12 Sherman Vc, 46 Sherman III, 10 Stuart V, and 6 Humber Scout Cars.
