ImagesOfTheJourney > This is the Canadian Cemetery at Juno Beach. Canadians provided 1 in 5 of all the troops landed on D-Day. As you can see many did not live through the assault and subsequent fighting.
ImagesOfTheJourney > I felt an impossible yearning, to have been there, to have fought evil, at a time before ambiguity, when "They" were bad and "We" were good. The last "righteous war." One that we had to be fought as the consequences of not joining in the conflict was too devastating to comprehend. I have since come to understand that it is that dichotomy that fuels all wars. It is often express religiously... that God is on our side, or that it is God's will that we fight and kill the evildoers. I realise now that I was yearning to have a sense of meaning that is one of wars most addictive and seductive traits.

ImagesOfTheJourney > La Maison du Queen's Own Rifles One of the houses that survived the invasion. You will often see this house in footage of old WW2 film of the landings of D-Day. There it is seen just as the Landing Crafts front door open and machine gun fire cuts down a number of men.
ImagesOfTheJourney > Normandy Remembrance by David Cale ® A cold wind, blew in from the sea. The day was grey and blustery. Typical June weather for Normandy. It was high tide. I walked out from the beach until I was standing, gazing out to sea, knee deep in the cold English Channel waters. I had travelled for five days North from Paris to Dunkerque and then exploring on my way down along the coast of France to Caen, and to the D-Day invasion beaches of Normandy. Driving north I crossed the river Orne at Pegasus bridge, which marks the Eastern edge of the D Day invasion. From there it was a short drive to the beaches. First Gold and Sword Beach, where British troops landed and then my objective Juno Beach where my countrymen, Canadians, came ashore. On a day similar to this, June 6, 1944, D-day, this six kilometre stretch of beach from Courseulles to St-Aubin sur Mer was newly christened -in blood- Juno Beach. It was here that Canadians of Toronto's Queen's Own Rifles, Regina Rifles, and Royal Winnipeg Rifles and others jumped into heavy surf and struggled ashore into the teeth of strong German resistance. Many of the German bunkers had not been destroyed by the preliminary bombardment, and until they were "silenced", these inflicted heavy losses. Many of the Canadian Amphibious Tanks went straight to the bottom in the heavy seas. Those that made it to shore aided enormously in making the landings a success. At the end of the day "The German dead were littered over the dunes, by the gun positions", a Canadian journalist reported. "By them, lay Canadians in bloodstained battledress, in the sand and in the grass, on the wire and by the concrete forts. ..They had lived a few minutes of the victory they had made. That was all." Three hundred and forty Canadians had given their lives. Another five hundred and seventy four had been wounded. This was just the beginning. In the days to come Canadians would see some of the bloodiest fighting of the invasion.
