Post Re: Tourcoing - Liberated

Julien;

Have done a bit of research and this is what I've found: At 9pm on 5 Sept 44, Tourcoring was entered by "B" Squadron of the 53rd Reconnaissance Regiment (British 53rd (Welsh) Infantry Division) and was reported clear of the enemy.

I have found no other information regarding any units either Canadian or British having entered Tourcoring prior to the entry of "B" Sqn, 53 Recce on 5 Sept.

Sources:

- The History of the 53rd (Welsh) Division in the Second World War
- Only The Enemy In Front, The Reconnaissance Corps at War 1940-1946
- War Diary, 53 Recce, 1944: PRO WO171/565

Cheers
