South Saskatchewan Regt - A short history of 1944

Discussion in 'Canadian' started by Buteman, Mar 31, 2012.

    Buteman 336/102 LAA Regiment (7 Lincolns), RA

    An interesting document from the war diary of the Unit, titled:-

    "Highlights in the History of the South Saskatchewan Regiment during the year 1944".

    Followed by some sketches of Xmas Cards from this unit and the Xmas dinner menu.

    A sobering comment on the last page. Casualties for this period:-

    101 Officers and 1,554 Other Ranks (Killed, Wounded, Missing - words in italics added by poster)
