Some of the hottest fiithtinil the entire Allied beachhead was in ilvzsc green woods of Le Mcsnll and

Even when the Canadians could be supplied only by nir thev never wavered and stuck on that cross roads. Men from every province in the Dominion, wearing maroon ber- ets and loose camouflaged battle smacks, fought like men inspired nnd their stand at Le Mesnil ranks with the most coiratgcous acts per- formed in the eurlv phase of the Norrnaindv invasion.
