History of HLI of Canada in WW2

Does anyone have a copy?

Looking for the chapter relating to September 1944.

 

Hi Paul I have the history (chapter 8 covers Sept). What do you need from it? Not sure how to add a thumbnail of the pages to the reply but can do so , if you tell me how.

 

Thanks - will send you a PM.

Thanks for everyone's help, much appreciated.

 

I have the War Diary for the Highland Light Infantry of Canada for the month of September 1944. PM me if you are interested.

 

Thanks - I actually already have a copy of that but thanks for thinking of me.

 

No problem.

 

This is a photo of my grangfather Stanley John Knack trying to find out which battle he wasin in wwll.

 

Knutter

The fact that the HLI of Canada were front and centre at Dieppe - and should your Grandfather have been there should be enough

Cheers

 

Photo seems to show he was Armoured Corps at some point, so I'd guess likely remustered as infantry in Spring 1944 or later.

 

Thank-you Kevin
