Interesting article on Canadian participation in Operation Husky. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/world/in-italy-battle-begins-to-give-canadians-their-due-for-wartime-successes/article13014093/
Tom, Roger that. It was the start of those that served and became DDay Dodgers by default once June 6, 1944 happened. For those who may be interested...go to www.theglobeandmail.com and enter Operation Husky in the search bar. A 92 year old veteran of the 48th Highlanders is featured. Tom, a wee dram is due in a couple of weeks.... Cheers from Toronto
PS For those forum members who do not know, Tom Canning is a DDay Dodger. Tom, 16 Days to another eventful day.
