There is film footage of the 14th field landing at Bernières-sur-Mer as Sgt. Bill Grant and Lieut. Frank Dubervill of the Canadian Film and Photo Unit crossed the Channel with the regiment. Grant's footage and Dubervill's photographs start with the loading of the LCTs in Southampton. As they approach the beach the Shermans and Priests fire their guns from the deck. Photos show men of Régiment de la Chaudière on the LTC presumably to provide security. The sequence ends with the famous scene of the Priest driving up to "La Maison des Canadiens" on the beach. Grant and Dubervill leave the 14th Field and continue recording events on the beach.
