1st Hussars, D-Day

[Perry Kitson]

Michel,
It has been a while since I have checked in on this thread. Thank you for digging up the LCT/LST information. The First Hussars are documenting, with as much detail as possible, the regiments movements from mobilisation through to the end of the war. This will be a lot of information. We are looking to retrieve any details on the regiment. We have not yet laid our hands on the "official" war diary.

The War Diaries will either be at DHH (Director of HIstory and Heritage) at NDHQ or at the NAC (National Archives of Canada). http://www.cmp-cpm.forces.gc.ca/dhh-.../index-eng.asp

When I met Stanley Fields, he gave me a small-sized privately copied set of the 5th Fd Coy RCE's War Diary. The entries are interesting reading depending on the quality of the author's expression. Author Prof. Terry Copp had full run of the war diary section at the NAC for his series of book entitled (coincidentally enough) 'Maple Leaf Route'.
