The Black Watch Regiment of Canada in Normandy after storming Juno Beach in the second wave. They would go on to fight in 30 more battles in France, Netherlands, and Germany. They endured heavy casualties and were awarded several honours and awards. My grandfather survived but never spoke about it.Submitted by TheSugarGalaxy t3_11ealag in OldSchoolCool
