"WELCOME HOME"
(Celebrating the 60th Anniversary of VE DAY)

Uniforms and replica of the Mk ll Hurricane courtesy of the RCAF Memorial Museum
The Hurricane played a decisive role in the Battle of Britain and went on to fly on more fronts than any other British fighter.
Often eclipsed in the popular imagination by the Spitfire, the Hurricane was likely the most versatile single seat fighter to emerge
from the Second World War. The Museum's replica Mk II Hurricane is in the colours of the aircraft of Flying Officer,
later Wing Commander, B.D. “Dal” Russel, DSO, DFC and Bar.

"THE EMBATTLED SHORE"
(D Day)

by Col. Bernd Horn

During World War II “D-Day” was the term given for the designated day that an invading force was to go ashore. Since then it has come to symbolize the invasion of Normandy on 6 June 1944, when the Allies stormed German Occupied Europe. The assault was the largest joint operation in history, encompassing three infantry and two airborne divisions. Approximately 133,000 troops were landed on the beaches and an additional 23,000 paratroopers and glidermen were dropped or landed inland. They were supported by approximately 7,000 ships and landing craft and an available air armada of about 3,000 bombers and 5,000 fighter aircraft.

Of the five divisions, two were American, two were British, and one was Canadian – the 3rd Canadian Division. The Canadians landed on JUNO Beach between the Provenance River and St Aubin sur Mer in the Baie de la Seine. They made the best inland penetration of all Allied forces on that first day. Of the 21,400 Canadians that participated in the invasion, by the end of 6 June, approximately 340 were killed, 574 were wounded and 47 taken prisoner.
