The Black Watch Regiment of Canada in Normandy after storming Juno Beach in the second wave. They would go on to fight in 30 more battles in France, Netherlands, and Germany. They endured heavy casualties and were awarded several honours and awards. My grandfather survived but never spoke about it.Submitted by TheSugarGalaxy t3_11ealag in OldSchoolCool

Watched a documentary on them here recently. Absolute beasts, the lot of them, and a testament to how cold and hard the Canadians get when going about war. We should never underestimate our neighbors up there, much love.
