L'aviation Canadienne en Normandie
Here's my father's description of some of the RCAF's work in the Falaise Gap: On 18 August 1944, we found ourselves dug in along a road somewhere southeast of Falaise, a short distance from a crossroad the Germans were using in their efforts to escape from the closing jaws of the Gap. The crossroad ...

<t>[quote="Olivier"]<br/> Did your father see a lot of photographers or journalists during the conflict? It is always amazing when you look at old black and white movies or pictures showing the WWII that they were filmed by some unarmed people. I am pretty sure a lot of them get killed.[/quote]<br/>...

<t>Hi Olivier,<br/> <br/> Thanks for your thoughts.<br/> <br/> As I get older, and the feeling of invincibility that young men have fades, I realize more how fickle life is and that it's amazing my father survived the war and that I was born. The battle of the Falaise Gap was not even the worst situ...

Hi everyone,
I have found more film footage from St. Lambert. A DVD that was released in 2006, "Death & Destruction in the Falaise Gap", includes at the end some newsreel footage and the most complete version I have seen of Sgt. Stollery's film taken at St. Lambert on August 19, 1944.

<t>There is also a good book by Dr. Carlos Vlaemynck called "De Slag om Moerbrugge." It has lots of photos and discusses the Canadians' approach to the area through Oostcamp. I got a copy from a book vendor in Bruges named Willy Degelder. Let me know if you would like to have his contact information...

Hello Ardennes, The Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders of Canada were very close to Loppem, at Moerbrugge. The South Alberta Regiment and the Lincoln & Welland Regiment were also at Moerbrugge. My father was in the Argylls. Here is a link to an article he wrote about the battle. http://www.asho...
