Julien;
Have done a bit of research and this is what I've found: At 9pm on 5 Sept 44, Tourcoring was entered by "B" Squadron of the 53rd Reconnaissance Regiment (British 53rd (Welsh) Infantry Division) and was reported clear of the enemy.
I have found no other information regarding any units either Canadian or British having entered Tourcoring prior to the entry of "B" Sqn, 53 Recce on 5 Sept.
