While we are finding and posting pictures of Bomb and the SFR, I found this clipping archived from the local Sherbrooke newspaper.

I've been reading Mark Zuehlke's book Holding Juno, and was fascinated by his recreation of the battle for Buron. Such as the extremely vulnerable flanks of the SFR's as they pressed south from the beachhead. His use of German information informative. For instance, for want of fuel a panzer division was not able to join the counterattack Meyer had to mount on 7 June. Those tanks would have threatened the landings immeasurably. As well, he frames the young SS grenadiers' anger and violence towards their North Nova Scotia Highlanders and Sherbrooke Fusilier Regiment prisoners. I hadn't thought of the murders quite that way before.
