Cdn Army Units in N Ireland?
I know for a fact my father went tourin' and (perish the thought) whorin' throughout the British Isles including Northern Ireland for a couple of weeks right after VE Day. (he may have even had a Leave Pass, not that something like that would have detered him). However, I'm pretty certain that no Canadian Army Units were ever tasked to the Emerald Isle.
Searching my memory of Regimental histories, I do recall individuals and sub-units being sent on courses in Scotland and even Wales however I don't remember anybody going to Ireland.
Pity.
Cheers
