Books photos about executed POWS June 1944

[Mark W. Tonner]

Hi Carman;

You had asked about what your Uncle Eddie would have been wearing/carrying on 6 Jun 44. I've given some examples in the attached photos:

# 1 - Regina Rifle Regiment troops prior to embarking in England for the invasion

# 2 - troops of Le Regiment de la Chaudiere moving towards their L.C.A. aboard L.S.I. - H.M.C.S. Prince David - 6 Jun 44

# 3 - troops of the 1st Battalion, Canadian Scottish Regiment about to load unto their L.C.A. aboard L.S.I. - H.M.C.S. Prince Henry - 6 Jun 44

You'll notice, they are from three different Regiments, but they are all basically dressed and carry the same equipment.

Cheers
