From all I've learned of Juno Beach and D-Day (I don't know much about Sword as my focus was on family involvement through Juno) , it was everything BUT a field day. The thread that brought me here originally in search of information about an Uncle of mine who landed on Juno on D-Day (actually one Uncle died on Juno during the landing) is full of information about the Canadians on D-Day and later ... as are many threads in the history area of MLU Forums, if you'd like to get more realistic information about what the Canadians were like, and went through, on Juno and later. All soldiers from all Allied forces who helped fight and end the war are on the whole, very respected by all of the MLU community. MLU being focussed primarily on Canadians during WW2, but lots of info throughout MLU that honours all soldiers who took part. Thats my impression of this place and these people of MLU.

If you want to know more what the Canadians were like during Juno, ask a Canadian Vet who was there ... and expect the facts.

Here is the link to the post and purpose for me being in MLU. Loaded with facts and info if you'd like to read through it.
