Canadian Soldier
Fred, a lieutenant in the Royal Winnipeg Rifles, was part of the 3rd Canadian Infantry Division that landed on Sword Beach. His unit continued the Battle of Normandy, fighting at Caen and Falaise. The division then headed for the Seine, liberating Rouen on August 30th, 1944. It continued its way in France, liberating Boulogne-sur-Mer and Calais.

The unit was then sent to Belgium and the Netherlands, where it took part in the Battle of the Scheldt and the Breskens pocket, reopening the port of Antwerp. It ended the war in Germany, having prepared the assault on the town of Aurich.
