Default Sherman Firefly on D-Day

Hi guys,
Anybody can confirm if any Sherman Firefly were used by the Fort Garry Horse or The Sherbrooke Fusiliers regiment on D-Day and the following days after june 6th 1944 ?? I know that these two regiments have supported the men of the Regiment De La Chaudiere in some operation in Normandy, and i want to build a diorama showing one of these operations but i was not sure if i can mix a Firefly with some guys of the "Chauds"..
Thanks for your help and sorry for my english..

Luc,

You have asked this question before. The answer w.r.t. the Sherbrooke Fusiliers is still the same.

http://www.mapleleafup.org/forums/sh...ght=Sherbrooke

Please note that only the LCT Serials landed on D-Day. The LST’s that were carring the Sherbrooke's only arrived in Normandy a few days later.

Note that on the table the Sherman V(C) is the Firefly.

John

Hi Luc;

You'll find reference to Fort Garry Horse crewed Sherman Fireflies on D-Day here

Cheers
