Post Re: Juno Beach D-Day, 6 June 1944

davlew25;

Just to clarify who landed on Juno Beach on 6 June 1944, I've attached a basic map of Juno showing which Canadian Units landed where. (This map is from the Official History of The Canadian Army in the Second World War, Volume III: The Victory Campaign, The Operations in North-West Europe, 1944-1945).
You'll notice that the Armoured Regiments supporting the Infantry Brigades are all from the 2nd Canadian Armoured Brigade:

6th Canadian Armoured Regiment (First Hussars)
10th Canadian Armoured Regiment (Fort Garry Horse)
27th Canadian Armoured Regiment (Sherbrooke Fusilier Regiment)

The 11th Canadian Armoured Regiment (Ontario Regiment) belonged to the 1st Canadian Armoured Brigade, who were still fighting in Italy at the time of the Normandy landings on 6 June 1944. Just so you'll know, 1st Canadian Armoured Brigade was made up of the following Armoured Regiments in 1944-1945:

11th Canadian Armoured Regiment (Ontario Regiment)
12th Canadian Armoured Regiment (Three Rivers Regiment)
14th Canadian Armoured Regiment (The Calgary Regiment)

Hope this helps.
