Default D-Day Canadian Uniforms

Queens Own Rifles and 1st Canadian Parachute Battalion uniforms and equipment as worn on D-Day. I thought I'd share in honour of the day.

Nice uniforms. What is the story on the Airborne BD Trousers, are they original?

Default BSA Folding Bicycle

BSA GS Mk V and Folding Bicycles were an indispensable mode of transportation within 3rd Canadian Division with over 1000 Folding Bicycles landing on JUNO Beach. Here are a couple of photographs of my Son posing with my restored BSA Folding Bicycle.
