Sherbrooke Fusiliers at St. Andre sur Orne July 20-22, 1944

[mudeng]

Hi,
This is a long shot re the above, but my father who passed away some years back was a petty officer on (I think) LCT 1053.
He never spoke much about his service, and I know he was not at D-Day but with the follow up units a week or so later, the only thing he ever mentioned was his LCT taking Canadian (tanks) up the Orne canal some time after D-Day.
I do know from my mother that around this time he had a field promotion from PO to Sub Lt.
I never had the opportunity to find out any more, other than his recollection of a tank firing through a house to suppress sniper fire.

If anybody can help to flesh things out or know of other channels that might throw some light on this, please pass them on.

Thanks.
George Moore (fathers name also George W N Moore).
