Good!

Terry Johns came up with a pic of a T16 of the South Saskatchewan Regiment at Fleury-sur-Orne, Normandy, on 20 July 1944. According to this history they did not land in Normandy until 8 July as a unit of the 6th Infantry Brigade, 2nd Canadian Infantry Division. So we have proof of T16s landing one month after D-Day, now we keep digging for any ones showing up earlier.

Need an entrenching tool?
