Description

The brutal battlefields of Europe during World War II were the testing ground for the young men of the 1st Battalion of the North Shore Regiment. On June 6, 1944, the soldiers landed on the coast of France as part of the first wave of the D-Day invasion. The Regiment's subsequent 30 days of combat, marked by constant contact with the enemy and a steady stream of casualties, culminated in a ferocious battle in the French village of Carpiquet. For five days, the Regiment endured a living hell, suffering nearly 300 casualties. By the end of it, the North Shore Regiment had effectively died. This comprehensive tale of this storied Regiment is finally told in D-Day to Carpiquet, volume 9 in the New Brunswick Military Heritage Series. This book provides a detailed account of the North Shore Regiment's experiences during the D-Day invasion and its subsequent battles in France.
