New D-Day vehicles for the Canadian army

[peter simundson]

I have been working with the Unit vets for years and personally talked the ears off some Carrier guys. All the Vehicles issued and used on D Day were fresh from War Stores. They were a little reluctant to do this but were ordered to. Some of the later followup vehicles were Unit Resources but on D Day...New Vehicles.
Not only that the third Division had new weapons, Uniforms and web. The helmets were the Mk 3 style , the web was Brit. web with web "D"'s, and the uniforms were Canadian style British made. With the exception of the Brens the weapons were new Brit made stens and Enfields.
