Veterns Affaris-- Lee Frank Long died july 08 1944 age 20. Service number G/1467. Force ( Army ). Regiment ( Regina Rifles Regiment ). Grave Ref--XI.G.6.
It also talks about the 3rd. Canadian Division that laned on D-Day.

Dept. of Honour Register-- The Allied offensive in north - western Europe began with the Normandy landings of june 06 1944. Many of those buired in Beny-Ser-Mer Canadian War Cemetery were men of the 3rd. Canadian Division who ied either on june 06 orduring the early days of the advance towards Caen, when the Division engaged a German battle group formed from the 716th. Division ansd the 21st.
