Thanks for the prompt responses. I searched Britannica Online for the film and found it. The problem is the notation says the film is of the North Shore Regiment (part of the 3rd Canadian Div). The North Shores went in at ‘Nan Red‘ which was at St Aubin Sur Mer according to the distinguished Colonel Stacey. The famous house is in this film for sure - but there is an editing break in the film. The LCI to which the camera is attached does not continuously pull up in front of the house, after assault troops have disembarked. Any defintive thoughts on this? Could the responders give me more info as to how they know this is the QOR going in. Help!
And while I‘m here I‘ll rant a little. Isn‘t this another ultimate Canadian historical irony. I‘m looking at an American webite citing the Washington National Archives as the source for a pinnacle of Canadian fighting achievement. This piece of film ranks up there with Hitler‘s tour of conquered Paris, the US Marines raising the flag on Iwo Jima or the A bomb drop on Hiroshima. Yet, the origin and details of the only actual record of the first wave assault on the Normandy beaches are virtually unknown in our own country. Ever tried searching the Canadian National Archives on the Web? If you‘ve done it successfully, I‘d like to know where you got your PhD. Brutal. No wonder we understand so little of our history!
