Thanks Colin. Canadian troops certainly shed a lot of blood in France.

Great video Colin, walking the ground and putting historical photo's to the ground today is remarkable. Cheers and thank you for sharing.

@stevehaire6181 7 дней назад

Thank you for posting these, I watch them with great interest. My late uncle William McKillop was a wireless/gunner CDN 4th armoured Governor Generals Foot Guard. He would occasionally share snippets of his experience at Falaise but seldom as it seemed to cause him anxiety. 😔

Very informative and a place to visit for sure when the opportunity arises - Those brave soldiers who gave their lives for our today 😪😪 so much the Canadian contribution gets forgotten, they were truly brave volunteers.

@WLM784 4 месяца назад

Hi Colin. You’ve probably answered this or even done it! But would you consider doing a video around Bretteville l’orgueilleuse about the 12th Panzer and Canadians. It’s a good walk around there isn’t it.. and it would be good to hear your take on the battles? Thanks for a great channel. I like the style and comprehensive descriptions.

@WalkingDday 3 месяца назад

Bretteville is on the todo list.

@PaulSpencerImages2012 3 месяца назад

Where were the German reinforcements coming from was it the south or were they coming from the east?

@WalkingDday 3 месяца назад

The 85th had been part of the 15th army to the east.

@PaulSpencerImages2012 3 месяца назад

Thank you for that information 🙏

@PaulSpencerImages2012 3 месяца назад

How does each hill get their number is it in relation to grid references or the height of the ridge line?

@WalkingDday 3 месяца назад

The hill or point number is the hieght in Meters. The altirude marked on todays maps is sometiumes different as they have more accurate measuring techniques.

@PaulSpencerImages2012 3 месяца назад

So is each hill number individual to a battle or do you find duplication as other area's develop. For instance is the only one Hill 112 which I am currently reading about. ?

@WalkingDday 3 месяца назад

@@PaulSpencerImages2012 You get duplication. In the 101st airborne area there was hill 30 where captain Shanley was for a few days nerar Chef du POnt. Then there was hill 30 near Carentan which was taken by the 501st regiment on the 12th in the attack on Carentan.
