Falaise Gap: Hill 140 drama

[Crewman]

For those of you, my friends, who are the Canadians interested in your WWII military history there is no need to describe the BCR and Algonquin Regt. tragedy at Hill 140 on August 9th, 1944 in Normandy. In my opinion this is the hardest point of the inter-Allied relations between the Canadians and the Poles in the Falaise Gap.

I have never seen Lt.-Col. Don Worthington photograph. Would not you like to post his portrait if you have it of course?

And one more question: I know Hill 140 drama from various Canadian books but I have never met an information if both Lt-Cols. and regimental COs Don Worthington (BCR) and Don Hay (Algonquin) were decorated posthumously? Do you know something about it?


Best regards
