Through stormy seas, the largest invasion armada to that point in history approaches the island of Sicily off the toe of Italy's boot. Some 3,000 ships and landing craft are poised to begin the first Allied push into Hitler's European fortress. Among them are Canadian infantry, tanks and artillery serving with Gen. Bernard Montgomery's British Eighth Army. As we see in this Canadian Army Newsreel, the Allies reach the shores of Sicily at dawn, and Canadians walk ashore unopposed.Live video footage & stills provided & authorized by Imperial war Museum & Canadian Archives for my personal use only ...ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

  • @MrBNaylor No sorry I don't know much about what he did, but apparently my uncle ordered a custom book about what he did in the war, but that was a few years ago so I guess he didn't get it.
